[QUOTE="Gene Jr., post: 316254, member: 15474"] TLK, I can't answer for Jerry, but my response is that you are correct in your understanding. There are a lot of choices that can be made. BUT and it's a big but, there are some easy to determine factors. Availability and personal preferance will determine most starting points. Available brass, bullet for correct application, available powder to provide desired velocity, OAL determined by magazine or set to lands... Start with what YOU want to shoot and then adjust as the gun tells you what IT wants to shoot. If your desired components don't work, change a variable and try again. Record all changes! The gun will tell you what it likes. I personally choose a minimum velocity goal and then work to find a node at or above that. I have found some of my best accuracy loads at the slower node. Nice for punching short range paper but don't serve me well for any kind of long range. I currently hunt big game with a 243 win and a 270 win. Not big boomers, so I like to run them as warm as possible and still have great accuracy. Good luck and have fun! [/QUOTE]
