[QUOTE="dodgefreak8, post: 972487, member: 4965"] Going to start load development for my 300rum and I am not real sure where I should start powder charges at. I have read a few threads here and charges seem to range from 95gr-103+ depending on the rifle. I plan on doing a ladder test (my first ever) to get it narrowed down but with components so scare I really don't want to throw more led than I have to down range. So I would like to know where I should start? Also if I am understanding this correctly I load one round each in 1/2gr increments and look for the sweet spot correct? I am looking for around 3100+ fps if attainable in my rifle. The rifle is a custom build with a 30" Bartlein barrel throated for maximum mag length in my Seekins DBM (3.900") COAL is about 3.850" So for the ladder test what should be my starting point and ending point on charge weight?
