How far can I expect to shoot with this load?

[QUOTE="foggybottombob, post: 794406, member: 38894"] Everybody says that touching the lands raises the pressure but I have not seen any change in velocity on the chronograph between a 0.020" jump and a 0 jump. I don't see any more pressure signs on the cases between those two either. So I assume this might vary from one rifle to another. And an increment of 0.5 grains is too much once you are closing in on max loads. Just shoot 1 each of the starting loads and check for pressure. Then once you are within a grain of the max increment no more than 0.2 grains each time. You should shoot several of each load once you get to the higher velocity rounds. I load 4 or 5 of each powder loading when I am close to what I expect to be good hunting loads. [/QUOTE]
