[QUOTE="Gene, post: 453382, member: 7402"] Change just one component at a time. First select the bullet you intend to hunt with. Then read reloading manual and find a powder you might have on hand or will purchase. Stay with one primer. Start with powder charge 10% below recommended. Go up .5 grs at a time, load three cases at each amount, shoot them at 100 yds and select the best one. Then work on OAL beginning with one that will fit magazine and not quite touch lands. Seat deeper, shooting three at a time. Select the best OAL, and you should have a good load. If you have a chronograph, use it each time you test loads. Try for the MV you want, but stay in safe limits. [/QUOTE]
