[QUOTE="dodgefreak8, post: 972602, member: 4965"] With the 30" barrel I'm just hoping to squeeze out a little more velocity. I had planned on rl33/230 berger from the start and with that large amount of a slower burning powder I figured more tube was better. The rifle will weigh 17lbs so a couple more inches wasn't a big deal. I really want to start my load development with my powder since I want to do the ladder test. I'm thinking this is a faster scenario based on my 7mm stw development. With that i did seating depth first but when i started increasing powder I found that my accuracy increases with the bullet closer to the lands. Might have been a fluke though. So where is a good starting powder charge for the ladder test? 95gr? Then increase a grain at a time instead of half a grain? Then look for the accuracy node, hope it's close to my velocity goal and start tweeking from there? Thanks for all the suggestions! [/QUOTE]
