[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1120297, member: 85389"] junkout, Suggest you get a Hornady manual . They are a great reference to have on your bench. As far as accuracy nodes. These you will have to test for ( Seating depth and velocity) because ALL rifles are different. Do your seating depth testing at the lowest powder charge listed for the bullet/powder/cartridge combination you are testing for. Then work you load back up checking for accuracy and pressure signs. Its work but it pays big benefits. Make sure your rifle and scope are mechanically sound before you start your load testing. Loose guard screws, bad bedding , barrel clearance to stock (free float) , barrel crown, scope adjustment function ( box and tall target test) and mount and base screws are a few things to check or have a gunsmith check and torque all screws to spec.
