[QUOTE="youngbuck, post: 1113998, member: 22987"] Mike, How do you determine what powder and how much when you start? Right now I'm working on a 264, well actually 2 of them with matching barrels that got the same reamer. I tried several powders and a few bullets. I took my most accurate powder and my most accurate bullet and then increased powder charge until I got the velocity I wanted without pressure signs. Now I'm adjusting seating depth on that combo. One of the rifles shoots 1/2 MOA out to 500(all we have shot on paper) the other right at 1 MOA, which is why I am tuning my seating depth. In your experience, it shouldnt matter the powder? For instance I tried retumbo and H1000 in both 264s, I got the velocity I was looking for, but my best groups were 2MOA with all the bullets I tried. [/QUOTE]
