[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2337441, member: 15054"] .3 gr each step for me in a rifle load then play with tighter .1-.2gr tolerances after a ladder test. Play with seating depths when you have a promising load, that will sometimes hone it in. Used to rely on 100 yard..I go 200 now for rifles. Or 150 yards for the 30-30. Pistols i have the close range, under 30 yards, loads and the long range loads for 100+ yard shooting. And what aviator41 stated. remove as many variables as possible. Trying different brands of brass will have an effect on groups also. [/QUOTE]
