[QUOTE="jpbaker, post: 628393, member: 31327"] I have a .223 that im loading up some 62gr TSX bullets for. Im using Varget, barnes info says OAL 2.25." If looking for accuracy, should start around .03-.07 off the lands. On my rifle .05 off lands is @ 2.36". Soooo, im seating out aprox an extra .1". How much more powder do I use to make up this extra capacity. Some one told me 2-3 extra grains. I understand always start low, but im looking for a decent starting point rather than starting 2-3 grains too low. TKS JPB [/QUOTE]
