[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 994045, member: 59915"] My personal opinion is that you do not have the load tuned yet. I would set the bullet at about .015" jump and do a powder ladder test on the upper half of your charge range. For example if the book lists 42-50 grains, then I would load two shots at 46 grains to 50 grains in half grain increments. Shoot them at the 300 yards you have available. The charges that are near an accuracy node will have impacts closer together than the rest. I then latke the best load and will load 3 more 2 shot groups. One at the load already shot and one .2 grains on either side of it. Take the best charge of those and start working with the seating depth. I'll move the depth .01" at a time until I get the group under an inch then I'll move .003" at a time. Others have different methods, this is how I do it. Works for me. I don't think you are very close to having the load tuned. [/QUOTE]
