[QUOTE="Doozy, post: 2402722, member: 102153"] I'm very new to reloading. Just shot a 10-shot ladder using H4895 ranging between 41.0 to 43.7 gr ([B]using a 168 gr Hornady BTHP bullet out of a 20" barreled AR-10 platform[/B]). By the results (see chart below) it looks like the sweet spot would be to use around 43.1 grains (because even if that specific shot was a little low, that's where the grade/incline in fps seems to plateau; I have three data points where there's only about 17 fps difference between them. (Another plateau seems to be around 41.3-41.6). Am I doing this right? I'm thinking my next step would to use my 43.1 grains of H4895 and alter the distance to lands... maybe start with 3x loads at 0.040" away, another three at 0.080", another 3x at 0.120".... Thank you for your advice. [ATTACH type="full" width="148px"]329900[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]329895[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
