@ArchAngelCD I would offer two thoughts for you to ponder on the topic of bullet seating depth, which might change your opinion, or at least temper your opinion for others who are learning the craft of reloading.
I’ll preface this by saying - if your opinion is jilted by the old yarn, “4 inch groups will kill a deer,” then the conversation is moot and can’t contribute to a meaningful discussion about reloading.
1) Some bullets care an awful lot about jump. I swore off Barnes monometals many years ago after I simply could NOT get them to shoot. Try as I might, I just couldn’t figure out what combination of powder, primer, charge weight, etc would make them shoot under 1.5moa, let alone under 1. So I was the guy talking trash on Barnes bullets because my experience in shooting hundreds of them was negative. Then less-many years ago, a trusted colleague gave me the secret - give them a long jump. Bingo - itty bitty groups which have since made them famous for their accuracy. I’ve seen the same behavior from every mono-metal rifle bullet I have tried. Equally, it’s far easier to get a secant ogive bullet to shoot if you don’t give it any wiggle room.
2) What other control parameters exist in reloading which a) are easier to control, and b) have a bigger influence on precision? And by “easy” I mean simple to achieve but also mean inexpensive to achieve and mean quick to achieve. Many options for brass, primers, and even powders can result in sub-MOA results, and improving precision through these typically doesn’t have substantial returns. Weight sorting primers won’t yield any improvement which can be seen by a factory rifle shooter. Weight sorting brass, turning necks, uniforming flash holes, measuring concentricity of sized brass, etc all take a lot of time (and more equipment cost), but the visible impact on group size is minimal. With smaller and smaller incremental gains, more and more shots have to be taken to prove the improvement. Whereas a guy can shoot 30rnds of a ladder or OCW test, find a happy horizontal group in a node, shoot 15 more rounds of varying seating depth and be happy knowing they have found groups nearly as small as the rifle could ever shoot.
For me, personally, out of a thousand things reloaders can do to improve precision, powder charge and seating depth optimization have proven to give the most performance return on investment for the average reloader. Focus on fundamentals and you’ll be rewarded.
