[QUOTE="mconwa951, post: 421659, member: 20886"] Started reloading for the first time a few weeks ago. I have a savage 308 with a 1:10 twist barrel. I am shooting 210 gr bergers trying to develop a load for moose hunting. I played with the pwder charges that berger recomended started at 37.5 gr and worked up to the max of 43.7 using a .030 jump. the max charged produced the best groups but still like 2" group at 100yds. I then played with the jump and reduced it to .010 and that produced lil better but not much better groups this was the max that would work in my magazine. So I decided to play with charge some more and kept working up. I worked up to 45gr of powder which is 1.3 gr over max i got a 1" group using this load with still no signs of pressure being to high just wondering if i should stop here or if it is ok to go a little higher. any other thoughts or ideas on how to shrink this group a little more? Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
