[QUOTE="megastink, post: 2655744, member: 33429"] I'm new to reloading, and here's what I've decided on, whether right or wrong: 1) Ladder test from minimum charge weight to max, one round at each charge weight; .3gr increments in short actions, .5 in long actions; bullets loaded twenty thou off the lands. 2) Shoot all rounds and look for velocity node (I dont care where they hit)- if its a shorter range rifle build, I'll just load in the middle of the node. If its a long range rig, I'll do a test from the beginning of the node to the end of the node in .2 or .3gr increments to find the best group. 3) After OCW is established, I MIGHT fiddle with seating depth. I'd do that if the best group I had was on the higher side of 1 MOA. Most of my shots are sub 400 yards, so my needs for group sizes may be different than someone else's. But I find this method efficient and uses the fewest components. [/QUOTE]
