[QUOTE="Chawlston, post: 104273"] Hello, You can also do a ladder test by having a fixed pwder charge and then adjust the seating depth in .005" increments to locate the boundaries of the barrel nodes. I find that with premium barrels and good equipment that this works the best for me. In other words....... Set up your seating die to seat the bullets just kissing the lands. Next start out with a conservative powder charge. Increase powder volume at an increment you feel comfortable with and go until you some pressure signs and then back off one or two grains. Next take that fixed powder charge from above and load a bunch of them up and take them to the range. Shoot two shot groups at each seating depth by just seating the already loaded ammo deeper into the cases and you will be able to locate what load is best for you with the least amount of effort. Using this method, every load I select as the best at 100 yards [b][i]ALWAYS[/i][/b] is the best all the way out to 1000 yards on my private range. Good Luck. James [/QUOTE]
