    Adjust powder or seating depth first?

    Re: Adjust powder or seating depth first? Ok, I was unsure. I found the best powder weight at 43.5/43.6. Then adjusted the seating depth. The closer to the lands the worse the accuracy.

    Adjust powder or seating depth first?

    Well Just like the title says, which do you guys adjust first when perfecting the handload. The amount of powder drop or the depth you seat the bullet/c.o.a.l.?

    Savage 10, Case C.O.A.L. of 2.878

    Re: Savage 10, Case C.O.A.L. of 2.878 Well, keeping powder the same, I found my loads are more accurate at 2.8 than at 2.87. 2.87 yielded groups near 1 1/2. Where at 2.8 they were touching.

    Hunting & Fishing New 300wsm hunting rifle needs setup. Help on ammo

    Hi all, Just purchased a savage 16 300wsm in left hand. Came with Burris rings and bases. I think I am going to go with a 4x12 scope with adjustable objective. Also going to put on a bubble level/anticant device. For the scope I think I am going with a vortex, but I cant decide on ammo...
