I like to seat near the lands during powder testing for pressure reasons. I never use listed coal because I always shoot long bullets and mag length is never a problem for me.
Good point about rechecking powder after finding seating depth. Some guys start with seating depth and a moderate charge to find it first. Tried this once. Seemed to work fine
Everyone has a process that works for them.
I start all my LD @ .010, find a decent powder charge, then start moving CBTO to .050 & .015, .020.
I usually see an improvement somewhere in that, I then do some .1gr powder increment changes either side, if I did LD in .5 then I do .1 to .4 either side of that charge.
