[QUOTE="Tidesloe, post: 746683, member: 47761"] Hey guy's I've spent many hours on this site looking for valuable information, and have found much to work with I have a 300 Rum newly rebarreled/ #4 Hart match grade, HS Precision stock, blueprinted action. I'm fairly new to handloading, but have learned many things the hard way. I have worked up a load with 180 gr Accubonds that are shooting well and showing promise. More testing to do on them. I want to work on a 210 gr VLD load. Given the limited barrel life of the RUM I'd like to find a load withthe VLD in the least number of rounds possible. I have much to learn to become efficient in load development. Heres where I'm at on it. I have new Nosler brass, and Redding competition dies. Right off the bat I am having concentricity problems with seating VLD's I also have copy of Bergers 1st edition manual. I still dont know wbere to begin. In the manual it seems to say on the same page to find your seating depth first, then work on charge. 2 paragraphs later seems to say the opposite. They also recommend .1 to .3 grain charge increments. It seems like I'm seeing an awful lot of rounds fired just as starters. I only have acces to a 200 yd. Range so maybe a ladder test is out of the question. My thought is a 200 yd round robin test should mostly give the same result? If I seat VLD's to mag length which would be my preference I'm already. 119 off lands. Given the seating depth sensitivity I'm still not sure how to begin. I think the first step will be to solve the concentricity issue. I contacted Redding 2 weeks ago but have yet to get a response. For you guys experienced with the VLD's I could use some good solid advice in how to begin on seating depth and charge in crements to begin my tests. I dont want to go through this barrel by the time I get a load down, or go through a couple hundred rounds and decide I need to go to something else. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks [/QUOTE]
