[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2606633, member: 66917"] That's up to you to judge. I don't know what your desires are with this particular rifle. My post was very generic outlining the basic approach I've found and many others have found to systematically arrive at a good result fast. This method will use way less components in most cases to arrive at a good performing load than randomly changing powder and seating depth at the same time. Now if you're saying you want to load to mag length only then you cut out the seating depth step. Shooting a ladder will still allow you to find pressure nodes. Then you can pick powder loads that are in nodes instead of one that might be on a pressure jump point. I did this with my 375 Ruger because I decided to crimp. I picked a specific length then shot a ladder at that length crimped and decided on powder charges. Then shot the powder charges and went with the most accurate from those. Its like Coues deer hunting. Glassing deer up off tripods with good glasses then closing the distance to a comfortable shot distance is way more effective than randomly walking the hills trying to jump one and get a quick shot. Sure, occasionally you might jump a buck and get a shot but by glassing and knowing they are there is still a higher % approach. Just like randomly picking a charge and seating depth might occasionally produce great results. [/QUOTE]
