[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2082668, member: 115285"] I like to go for maximum velocity, which means maximum safe pressure, and maximum range. Alternatively, I would choose the maximum distance and necessary energy I need for the target I intend to shoot. I choose the load based on Quickload predictions, start low and work up while shooting groups with a Magnetospeed attached to my handguard or forearm, if possible. I start at .010" off the lands, seating depth can be can be tuned once the maximum load is found. I want all of the data I can get, every time I pull the trigger, quality ammunition and barrels are expensive, take the extra time writing it all down when you shoot, and after you are finished! As has been said, I do this at 100 yards prone to minimize environmental effects. I use 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper printed with a simple small circle or diamond, and spaces for data. I write all pertinent data on them and make sure to specify units of measure. I keep every one in a three ring binder for each rifle, this is hard to do, I know! But it is worth every penny and minute of time. [/QUOTE]
