[QUOTE="ruby76, post: 1340481, member: 95995"] Shooting a Remington 700 mil spec 26" 300 wm. 1 shot clean for 9 rounds, then 2 shots/clean, then 3 shots/clean times three. So, 20 rounds down the tube. I do realize that with only 20 rounds, its not fully broken in. My question is what steps should I do next. Now, I have 215 Berger hybrids, 200 ELDX, H1000 and H4350 to work with. I'm thinking go with the 215/H1000 combo right off the bat, but my question is which type of testing first? Do I first seat the bullet close to the lands and figure out max load till I reach pressure signs and go on from there. Or, is it worthwhile to try and do a ladder test (300 yards first) at the same time as figuring out max pressure. Was going to start at 74 grains of H1000, with 1 grain increments till I see pressure signs. I can fine tune the bullet seating and powder charge after the initial testing is done but a little unsure on the right steps to take first, second, etc [/QUOTE]
