[QUOTE="fireroad, post: 306551, member: 17359"] I recently read a post on this forum (or possably another one) where someone described a good technique for determining the best distance from seating the bullet off the lands. Basically, they said to take the bullet and powder you plan on working with and load it at the minimum recomended load. I believe he said start with the bullet .005 off the lands, then decrease the length until you find the group that shoots the best. When you have done that then start working increasing the powder until you achieved your desired results. Do these numbers sound right to you guys...starting at .005 and working closer? Would there be any reason to start out farther or go out farther? [/QUOTE]
