[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2864552, member: 116181"] You drop the charge down and work back up. There's no measuring or math involved unless you happen to want to write down the bearing surface length. The number doesn't really mean anything on it's own. The point is bullets are all different designs, and even if they weigh the same a difference in bearing surface length affects engraving pressure and how the bullet moves down the barrel, so you can't assume a safe charge weight with one bullet works with another.
