[QUOTE="dakota1tn, post: 770567, member: 15050"] This is how I start with a new gun. Make sure the barrel is floated!!!! I use flitz and polish the inside barrel for 30 to 40 min. I shoot one shot and clean until like new. Then 2 shots and clean until like new. then 5. Clean again and shoot 2 shoots. I find where the bullet touches the lands and load 2 of each with one grain less than max powder. Hodgdon. (my experience most guns shoot better faster than slower)2 touching lands then 2 @ 10 thou. 2 @ 15 20 25 30 35. If 2 of either touch bullet holes I load 2 more of the same and try them. I clean after every 12 to 14 shots. Also IF the bolt closes tight you nee to adjust your die down until it closes as easy as a factory round or close. I also aneal my brass after 4 fireings. The last 4 I set up.... I finally got a group that would at least touch a dime with 3 shots @ 100 yrds. Went up .5 grains on powder and then 1 grn on powder. The all would touch bullet holes or better for 10 to 12 shots. Then the group would open up. You need sand bags when shooting and shoot @ as small of a spot as you cross hairs will allow!! I measure groups diff. than gun makers or most people. I measure form outside of bullet hole to outside of bullet hole. my half in groups are 1/4 in groups according to gun makers. Ive been loading for 25 yrs but only started shooting long distance about 4 yrs ago. I still fell I have lots to learn but what I do seems to work!! ALSO REM!! WIND HAS SO MUCH TO DO WITH THE FLIGHT OF YOUR BULLET. [/QUOTE]
