[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 440754, member: 12"] Assume that you are shooting a single shot? Otherwise, if you are planning on using the magazine, start at max COAL for the mag and go down. IMO you can burn a barrel out going .05 at a time. Go .20,.40, .80 and .120 from in the lands for single shot or max COAL for mag guns. Berger has found that some of their bullets like it way off. Some like it .20-.30 in the lands. Easy to ID a band width to work in between then. I would not waste my time seating deeper existing bullets. Go with all new. When you say "similar" bullets, that is a misnomer. It is like being pregnant, either they are pregnant or not and either they are the exact same or they are not. If not, then they will not normally shoot alike. Here is an earlier take on "tuning a load" from about 8 years ago. Most of it still is valid except it is easier to test and proven that some bullets like big jumps. [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f28/tuning-load-part-2-a-22102/[/URL] BH [/QUOTE]
