[QUOTE="j_unzicker, post: 446861, member: 28887"] Thanks, guys. I was a little surprised to find out that I can jam the lands and still fit the cartridge in my Rem 700 magazine with room to spare, so I was happy about that. I'm glad to know that I wouldn't be breaking a cardinal rule. I think I will start by loading various charges (starting low) seating the bullet about .005" from the lands. My undersanding is that this is about the distance that will put the most pressure on the load. Then I will shoot just to evaluate pressure signs. Then when I feel confident about the pressure at any given charge, I think I will work to adjust the COAL at that charge to find the sweet spot. Then using that COAL, I will go back and tweet the charge amounts to find the most accurate load. Am I missing anything? Any other suggestions? Thanks. BTW - I did just get an Chrony F-1 for an early Christmas present, so I will put it to good use. I am hoping that my most accurate load will put me around 3000f/s, but we shall see--accuracy is most important. [/QUOTE]
