[QUOTE="Mark37082, post: 2971056, member: 120066"] I still consider myself an amateur reloader. I have just a few years experience at this point. I’ve read reloading manuals cover to cover and learned a lot from the experienced reloaders here. However, once you have basics down to make sure you are being safe, it boils down to a bit of experimentation and closely observing your results. Like many have said this is not a one size fits all situation. I have found that seating depth changes have really not made clear measurable differences in accuracy in some of my rifle and bullet combinations. I generally stay in the 20 to 30 thousands off of the lands. The secant ogive bullets have generally performed well here for me. I let the rifle tell me what bullet it prefers. I don’t buy several hundred bullets of a particular style and weight until the rifle tells me it likes them. With all this stated, once the rifle says it likes a particular bullet, I will experiment with other tweaks like varying seating depths to see if I can squeeze a bit more consistency in accuracy.
