[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 596816, member: 25488"] Understood. Just wanted to make sure that you and others can see that there was a lot right in what he said, and I was only disputing the "one problem cut and dried" approach and the point that one chamber may be cut to tighter tolerance than another. It is always best to work up your loads, though I will admit that I don't always start at minimum load, usually 2-2.5 grains below max if I am wanting velocity and I load 2 rounds (fired back to back, no cool down) for each charge in .5 grain increments. If simply looking for accuracy I will go 5 rounds from minimum to maximum in either .5 or 1 grain increments depending on the spread. Once I have established which is most accurate I go up and down .2 then .5 to get the most accurate load. This is how I do my workups , I am not saying it is best, but it usually works for me. Make sure you pay attention to all details when loading for a new rifle, Proper brass prep, as you can see is just as important as powder charge and the bullet used. Be safe and have fun! [/QUOTE]
