[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1113202, member: 91090"] If I am using berger VLD I start my load development with whatever powder I pick start low mid recommended loads from the manual, work up in .3 to .5 grain increments and the COL bullet into the lands 0.01. I find my charge weight. If it is a target round I am done. I single load my target rounds and have found Vld's shoot best stuck into the lands. If it is a hunting bullet and I want to get to mag length then I use the berger jump procedure. Any other bullet I start load development with my COL at mag length, Pick a powder and go to work. If you want to adjust your col for fine tuning after load development go for it. [/QUOTE]
