seating depth?

[akcharlie4]

When fine tuning a load and adjusting seating depth in what increments do you change? Thanks

I just did a seating depth test in .005" increments. I was hoping to find 2 consecutive depths that performed better than others. My thought is this if I seat at the longer of these two lengths I will move from one to the other, maintaining performance, as the throat erodes .010" over a couple hundred rounds. That way I can load a couple hundred and not worry about it.

Important to note that .018, .058, and .098 were shot on a different day. My .005" test went from .063"-.083". I am going to load at .078" jump.

These jumps are large because of other limitations with this rifle/bullet combination.
