[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 671213, member: 5302"] I've developed loads for only a .264 Win. Mag. and a new bullet for the .308 Win. Accuracy with new and full length sized cases were both excellent through 1000 yards. Never used a chronograph so I've no idea what the actual muzzle velocity was. Also have used popular loads in the .308 and 30 caliber magnums which all shot great with both new and full length sized cases. Never thought it was necessary to develop a new one when the old good ones did so well across so many barrels. There seems to be a few loads that shoot very accurate for most cartridges. Good examples are what top level competitive shooters use for a given round and bullet. Not much difference between their loads except for a small spread in powder charge weights. Note these folks judge accuracy on several many-shot strings. If one shoots 1 or 2 few-shot groups to check accuracy for a given load, most any suite of components could easily be the most accurate. Good evidence of this is the huge number of "favorite" loads for a given bullet in a given cartridge. [/QUOTE]
