[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1144640, member: 85389"] Guys, All great replies! Using someone elses load is is many times a recipe for complete disaster. Having up to date manuals are definitely the way to go. Please keep in mind that the loads we list are based on the cartridge overall length (COAL) listed on the first page under the cartridge heading. I always suggest that two articles on our website should be read also. Erics "VLDs-making them shoot" which can be found under the INFORMATION TAB in TECH TALK in the drop down and Bryans two part article on "How COAL and CBTO affects powder capacity and pressure " found in the BLOG CATEGORIES under EXTERNAL BALLISTICS. Also , because of the length of our VLD bullets. The loaded round MAY not fit or cycle through the magazine and the rifle has to be used as a single shot. And finally, PLEASE DO ALL SEATING DEPTH TESTING AT THE LOWEST POWDER CHARGE LISTED FOR THE BULLET/POWDER/CARTRIDGE COMBINATION BEING TESTED. Once the seating depth accuracy node is found. Work the load back up slowly checking for pressure signs and accuracy as you increase the powder charge. If the shooter does this he or she should be able to find an accurate load and not get themselves into trouble. And we don't want to leave out "change only one thing at a time and test" , Keep a good, accurate reloading log book" and "Velocity is nice but accuracy is king. The rifle will tell you on the target what it likes". Start with this , get the basics down ,THEN start getting more "exotic" with your reloading and load development if you want. Hope this helps!
