[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 834214, member: 34818"] First..what bullet and powder combo are you using? How far out are you going to be shooting game with this set up? I did a ladder test and I didn't find it to be any more useful than shooting three shot groups and going from there because you will always want to reverify your load for consistency. If you are keeping your shots under 500 yards then 3 shot groups at 100 yards is fine. If you plan on shooting further than that then I would suggest load testing at 200 or 300 yards. Try to pick a calm day to test as wind can mess up your groups. I seat my loads .015" off the rifling to start out. Once I find the most accurate powder charge with that seating depth, I will test different seating depths. [/QUOTE]
