You have a new gun. You're going to load for it. You pick the projectile you wish to shoot based on your hunting needs. You know about what velocity you want or need. You pick your brass, powder, primers, etc. You shoot your first groups and its not up to snuff accuracy-wise...2.6" groups at a 100 yds. Its not exhibiting signs of vertical or horizontal stringing to indicate bbl pressure...just a "neat" group that is too large to suit you. You want to "tighten" it up. Whats your first move in seeking accuracy with respect to handloading. (this hypothetical assumes the gun and scope are not the problem)

Im asking do you adjust seating depth, powder charge, powder type, brass, primers, what? Which direction do you head first in seeking to "tighten" things up or "dial it in"?
