[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 745936, member: 41442"] The way i go about a new rilfe is to pick about 5 bullets that will do what i want the gun to do. The bullet is usually the biggest variable in accuracy. I load those 5 bullets with maybe 3 differnt powders in a burn rate that again is good for where i want to end up with. I load 5 rounds of each and go out and shoot those groups. I seat the bullets to the oveal lenght recomended in a manual. If Out of those 15 groups i cant find something that i can live with I pick the two loads that had the best group and then start varying powder charge up and down a grain, try diferent primers and seating depts. Those first 15 groups will usually get a decent group and if it doesnt the gun probably just isnt going to shoot. [/QUOTE]
