[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 829561, member: 48043"] You are very welcome Bill! You can do very well working on marksmanship with mild loads; it'll be easy on the gun and your shoulder and the target will hardly notice the difference.:D For load work ups there is a lot of info here on the site but I'll toss a couple of more important ones out to start with. I would start a bit lower than midway up. I'll reiterate that I like at least 10% down or more if I don't have actual data for that powder with jacketed. With lead start way down the ladder and work up until groups close and then start to open again, then back off to where the accuracy was best. That will be the max. load for that alloy. If you swap out alloy, you have to back up and do it again. [/QUOTE]
