davepa:All have made some good points on bullet seating depth.I am no expert in reloading so take what I post for what it is information.Take it or leave it.Your question about load developement.In my view what you want to do with load developement is to find the barrel time or sweet spot for your specific rifle.A velocity that matches the specific barrel harmonic motion of your rifle.DAA makes a good point about a starting point for seating depth. .005 or more like .015 or .020 what ever you feel works then stick with that depth it is now a variable in the load that has become fixed at this point. Your question about powder weights.I fell the best way to work up a load and do load testing is by using what is refered to as the (Audette method).The method has limitations but with 30 rounds you will find the most accurate load for your specific rifle with the load combination,loading methods, and components you have selected to use.It would take a long time to explain it in this post.If you would like to know about this method of load testing perhaps a E-mail would be a better way of getting the information to you.Just a thought on load development.My view with load testing and the way I do it it is with the Audette method.
