[QUOTE="goose, post: 324856, member: 14402"] First off you are in good hands here. This is by far the best source of info with the most helpfull members that I have found. I'm working on the 168VLD in the 7rem mag with H-1000 as well. Don't know if you read my post, but it's the one about low es and sd. There are a few different methods you can find out about here, search the articles for load development. The VLD article is great and I think will answer your questions on seating depth. Find out about ladder test or OCW (optimal charge weight) as well. I would try a couple of different powders, for me they usually show promise right away if they are going to shoot well. From there you can experiment with seating depth(also good articles and threads about that here), and primers. Don't forget about brass prep too. I don't know if you have a chronoghaph, but it is very helpfull and important data. Not only will you know the velocity, but if it is consistant or not, or if the temperature has much effect. Don't worry too much, it will be fun. Sometimes you find a great combo right away, and sometimes you have to really work at it. [/QUOTE]
