[QUOTE="Tater1985, post: 605540, member: 38019"] Alright, im going to start working up a load for my 7mm RM, first time. I have decided to try H-1000 for powder and will be using 168gr Berger VLDs. Most reloading manuals i can find for this load say about 62gr start and about 70gr max. So, would i be safe to start in the 66-67gr area and work up slowly? And from what i have been reading, it seems best to see what charge it likes and safely shoots and THEN start playing with seating depth, correct? So if this is correct, then my last question is, what distance off the lands should i load them while playing with charge volume? I was thinking maybe .040" or .060" off the lands to start, then once i decide on a charge load some .020" in either direction and see what shoots best. Any advice or common practice would be appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
