[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 543696, member: 307"] "You need to experiment with your rifle" Gene said it best. There is no secret to finding the optimum load for your rifle, other than this. All rifles are different. In reality, the components you use are going to be somewhat different (differing Lots of powder and primers, slight bullet variances) from the guy giving you the load advise. I always start load development for any bullet at .0010" off the LaG's. My powder range usually starts approximately 2.0 grains below book listed max and goes to max, and sometimes slightly over, but not always past max. I vary the loads in 1/2gn increments and usually find a "keeper" withing 12-15 rounds. Saturday: I started load development for the 90gn Nosler Ballistic Tip in my Win 70 HVB. All brass prepped the same and a constant. Primer was the CCI BR2. Bullet seated .0010 off. My cartridge oal is 2.2800". Powder (H4350) started at 43.0 gn and went to 44.5 gn (Hodgon's listed max). 43.0 measured .466" 43.5 measured .444" 44.0 measured .178 !!!!!! 44.5 measured 1.178" You can figure out which load I'm going with.
