Playing with seating depth

[Labrat198]

So far in my reloading journey I have been seating to whatever the books and manufacture suggest and adjusting my powder charge. I am measuring the jump, just have not been adjusting it other than to fit the magazine. I have a dozen or so different bullet and powder combinations that I am starting to go back to and getting more exacting in my process.

Working back from the lands, or the longest the magazine will allow, it looks like increments of .005 is a good place to start.

So I could just keep seating each bullet deeper until I feel the powder getting compressed, velocities start saying "pressure", or the bullet falls in the case.

I am wondering if there is a better way.
