[QUOTE="outdoorguyBP, post: 3038958, member: 126478"] I start with .020 off for my seating depth and run a velocity ladder, 10 rounds in .2gn increments working up to the max load for a given powder/bullet combo. I will usually load 2 of each charge and run them back to back or on different days. Today ran one for my boys 6 Creedmoor, time was tight so just ran a single string of 10. I log the data and look for a flat spot in velocity, it looks like I will load another 5 at 38.8gn and see how the SD / ES look along with the group size. If the numbers look good but the group is more than 3/4” at 100yds I might load 5 at .015 and 5 at .025 and see how those work out. We all have our processes, this one seems to work best for me with any rifle I try in on [/QUOTE]
