[QUOTE="CleanShot, post: 1141191, member: 70364"] Hello So, brass is cleaned, chamfered/deburred, neck sized, and primed. I have chosen my bullets and powders and gotten a fairly good idea of my rifle's headspace. Seating dies are adjusted and blanks were made. I've checked the manuals and the manufacturers websites for load data so I'm pretty much armed with everything I need to know. Now comes the scary part to a newbie reloader... it's time to throw charges. I know my starting load and my maximum load, but how many rounds of each load should I make? Also what is the normal step increment? Is it .5 grains? Does anyone have any favorite process they can share or have experience with ladder testing? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
