[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1451796, member: 61747"] Personally I would just start with a velocity test. Load up in .5 grain increments and test velocity and for max. Find the velocity flat spots and test with 3-5 of each charge weight in .2 grain increments. Generally one of those will show a low extreme spread. I would then test for seating and accuracy while ensuring a low es. IMHO groups mean absolutely nothing without low es, stabile velocity. I use retumbo and RL 26 in my 6.5-284's. I look for es under 10 and usually can find something in the 5's. [/QUOTE]
