[QUOTE="Michael J. Spangler, post: 420707, member: 20314"] alright so let me know what you think i'm going to load 3 rounds of each of the following loaded .030" off the lands and decreasing in .030" increments away from the lands until i hit .180" from the lands. which will give me a seating depth that should function properly in my magazine (do you think these increments are good?) i'll take my time on a nice calm saturday from 9 am till whenever i finish. shooting the groups with a few minutes in between each shot until all are gone. i only have a 10X scope so i figured i would keep it at 100 yards, should i move out further? should i shoot off of a rest? or stick with my bean bag/bipod setup? chronograph? or not really worth it till i get to messing with the powder? i plan on shooting them on individual targets, i think shooting a ladder or round robin ladder would probably prove fruitless based off of close range and no change in powder. might just end up with a big mess. i'll post some results of what i shot on my website. maybe i can get some more help interpreting results if they're pretty close to each other. then i can fine tune the seating depth based off of the results and what seems to be a good "node" going back through the 3 shot groupings. Should i move the distance out at this point? when that's done i'll mess with the powder charge in the same fashion, coarse increments to fine a "node" then i can fine tune between the most accurate loads. at this point bring in the chronograph to check for ES, and SD sound like a plan? should i make changes?
