[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1550578, member: 108576"] I like the posts where they say to write EVERYTHING down,even the range reports. I give every load a lot number.I can go all the way back to 1970 and see loads and reports on what was accurate in that particular rifle,handgun and even shotgun. Distance to lands and grooves will change with different bullets and can effect accuracy big time.Just load a dummy round with a bullet inserted a little way(No primer)and close the round with the bolt and remove round measure it and you have a distance you need to write down for that particular bullet.I start with 3 rounds loaded .015 off lands and grooves and reduce distance .002 each load. Notes will save you a lot of time. Enjoy,its a great journey. old rooster [/QUOTE]
