    Never been my thing to worry about seating depth. I go for mag length then make sure cartridges feed from the mag. Ammo loaded long can sometimes ride up and not enter the chamber so needs checking. Especially sharper projectiles like say eld ms. After that I just start in the middle with adi powder and work up until I get an ok group for hunting. Which for me is around 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch on average. Then the hardest thing to do is get up early and get into it!
