[QUOTE="Swamp Fox, post: 342319, member: 1355"] BradinCO, "Even though the charge weight was different, the best accuracy was attained between 3380 fps. and 3410 fps." I believe you have the essence of what you need to know right there. When loading for a new bullet I look at factory data. Most of the time there are loads that are listed as most accurate. I note the velocities of the accurate loads and base my test loads around those velocties. I normally try to get a load that is 95% capacity to slightly compressed as these seem to give a lower es. At your altitude temp stable powders would be a plus. [/QUOTE]
