If you really want to get your money's worth for that software, I'd suggest you look into Chris Long's Optimum Barrel Time method for predicting an accuracy node based on QL's calculated barrel time. It doesn't always work this neatly but it has reduced the total of number of rounds I've fired before I set to tweaking seating depth to just a handful, sometimes as few as 12.

Increased barrel life, increased safety margin, often increased consistency, insignificant "loss" in down-range performance....

It also increases wind drift, shortens the max point blank range, shortens the danger space and magnifies the effect of shooter errors in range estimation and holdover.

And no matter how many figures the faster bullet loses, no matter how far they fly, it'll still be faster.
