[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1701519, member: 61747"] There needs to be a discussion about powder charge and cases. Every book uses a certain set of components. Some use x brass, x primer, etc and others use y. It is generally not a good idea to mix brass, especially when working close to book max. You should start a couple grains under max and work up loads in either .2-.3 or .5 grain increments to the point of finding max charge. This needs to be done for each component selection. Some brass is much thicker and needs to run 1-2 grains lower to produce similar psi/fps. Having said that, I would suggest you pick a method to get a good load worked up that is safe. If you wish to load to mag length then run a powder charge test. If you wish top play with seating depth then you can do that first and then run a powder charge test. In the end you should have a decent tuned load for the rifle. [/QUOTE]
