[QUOTE="Bahick71, post: 4011119, member: 50119"] I will start by saying I am not right, or the best, just my process, may help or not I choose my seating depth, just touching the lands. I start at the min load and load 3 or.5 rounds at .1 grain increments until max listed I go to the range, with a clean rifle, and shoot the first group Then I clean again, I start every string with a clean bore, maybe a little excessive But that way each string has the same starting point. I usually find a window between 3 loads of .3 grains. Then load a few at That charge and see how they do If they stay that is my permanent load, I have always been able to find a pretty good Sweet spot. If I can't then I will adjust seating depth and try again. A good scale is.key, an electronic powder measure is great also You sad you were throwing powder by hand, like a.uniflow? Some powders are very Inconsistent in a uniflow. Extruded powders especially. If using a uniflow I would say Get a small electronic scale, and a hand trickler, throw your charge a little short then trickle The last little bit in. There are as many opinions on how to do this for best results as there are people on the Forum. You just have to find what works for you Best luck f luck, hope you get it going your way [/QUOTE]
