Like many others on here, I have different techniques for New guns vs ones I already have a few loads for.
Then it is different for pistols, vs bolt action rifles, vs semi-auto rifles.
With pistols I don't monkey around with seating depth much at all, and from there it depends upon the purpose. Hunting vs self defense practice vs just plinking.
With semi-auto rifles I seat to within 1/100th of max mag length usually and work around that with different powder charges.
With hunting bolt action rifles mag length is again a factor and I have no use for powder puff hunting loads....if it won't shoot near max I change bullet or powder.
With my F-CLASS loads I do a bunch of different things.
The step by step though for anyone of them would be too long and boring to post here.
