Unclenick is giving excellent advice (as usual). When loading for accuracy, I generally start with a mid-range load and bullets seated .010" off the lands, then work the load up .5 gr at a time until I find the best powder charge, then fiddle with seating depth to fine tune (some bullets like to be up against the rifling, others like to be backed off). This generally gets me in the area of the most accurate loads.
