I think you will find that most I did say most weapons shoot best in the accuracy department a touch under the max load and this has to be worked up in your firearm.I used to load 357 Mag and those powders can sneak up on you real fast like! so my suggestion is find a good load that is the most accurate in your weapon and go with that.You also need to remember that most of the loading manuals are for thier bullets or powder I found out it's not generic for every 165gr bullet to load XX.xgr powder and it work for every 165gr bullet. Some have more bearing surface, they may be longer and you get into the lands a touch! it may cost more in the long run but if i'm after a load for said 165gr bullet with X brand of powder I normally visit their website for the newest information, if they don't have the said bullet powder combination I'm after I'll start way down low and work it up slow until I find something accurate or the chrony says I better watch things. If you don't have a chrony I'd suggest it a tool you add to your loading equipment it has helped me a lot over the years with some of the crazy stuff I load for. This board is full of guys willing to help you out so this is another good tool, biggest thing is don't get in a hurry! one day you will mess up it's just part of it but take your time it's all good :-) Later,Kirk</blockquote>
