[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 303609, member: 4885"] The way I've always done it is to start at the book minimum and work my way down a little at a time. Run the loads over a chronograph and if they aren't consistent, then you are too light. Keep the neck tension pretty high (as this helps the pressure build). I like to use powders that fill the case as much as possible as well. I've had better luck using magnum primers with light loads. Go to Hodgdon.com and look at their loads for the WSM, Their starting loads for th 120gr bullets will likely be very comfortable to shoot. AJ [/QUOTE]
