[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1964114, member: 101859"] Its good your chrony is not touching your barrel. Forgot looking at the chrony for now, its not going to tell you anything, just look at the targets. Powder charge and seating depth are your two main tuning tools. Neck tension and primer choice are important, but you should find decent accuracy first. Ladders are good for roughing in a load before shooting groups and picking components. If the ladder looks bad, no point in shooting groups, try a different powder. If none look decent, pick a different bullet and start over. Once you shoot a ladder that looks decent load some at the powder charge that looked good and adjust seating depth, then fine tune the powder charge. Now you have a base line load to try different neck tension and primers. Always shoot a few different powder charges surrounding your load when trying neck tensions or primers because they can move the node. I would expect a customer to try at least 2-3 powders and 2-3 bullets through a decent powder charge and seating depth window before accepting a rifle to inspect for accuracy issues. [/QUOTE]
