Thread: Seating Depth Test. Waste of Time?

I enjoy reloading and my process is normally find a decent velocity with good SD and ES and 20 thou jump, then tune seating depth in 3 thou shorter increments.
Did this today at range with 223 I’ve just got shooting 65gr SGK and BM2. 0.2 grain over max.



But…..then I read all of @gimp posts regarding accuracy. Based on that, does this tell me nothing? And if I was really interested in finding out about accuracy, I should’ve just shot some 10 shot groups with the right velocity load that I liked?

Stings a bit to think of all wasted time and components if all this is true.
