[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 794398, member: 66495"] Ok nice. That's good info right there. I'll give that a go tonight and see. You have been a great help so far. Hopefuly everything comes together for me. I've got 20 cases cleaned, sized, trimmed, chamfered, deburred, and primed. I'm gonna wait till I get the bullet comparator and then load them. I'm gonna start at the minimum powder amount and work my way up in increments of .5 graings, untill I see signs of pressure and then back it off a bit. I'm gonna seat all of these so that the bullet is just touching the lands. Once I get my powder right, then I'm gonna load several rounds (maybe 20) with that powder amount and with all of the bullets seated to the lands. I'll see how that goes for accuracy and see if I need to play with seating depth. I guess if I have to play with seating depths after that I will probably have to play with powder amount again right? Becuase I should have higher pressure with the bullet seated to the lands right? Once I back the bullet of the lands I should see lower pressures if I am understanding this whole thing right. Thanks again for the help so far. [/QUOTE]
