[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 213774, member: 4683"] I'd start at 20K off the lands then when you find a bullet powder combo that the barrel likes at longrange you can go in 10K and and be 10K off the lands ,then go to 30K off with another test group. That way you'll know if it likes very close or 30K off the lands. Myself i shoot two shot groups during load developement one right behind the next. My concentration drops off too much for multiple five shot groups ,if i pull a shot -i shoot another one simple as that. I do my real load developement at 300yds -and only on very light to wind at all days- 300yds is far enough to really see what she's doing. I'm not a benchrest or competitive shooter -i'm a longrange hunter so i try to developement and tune my rifle to shoot as accurately as possible under what would be considered a hunting senario. Good luck w/ your new STW =great cartridge for sure.ME [/QUOTE]
