Thread: Seating Depth Test. Waste of Time?

To my mind all that proves is they have a very precise rifle and they can shoot it accurately.

What we need to see is at least 20 shot groups (preferably 50 shot) at an optimum seating depth and another string at a sub optimum depth and be able to statistically observe a difference, further more the test needs to be repeatable.
