[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1893859, member: 109327"] Congratulations on getting into reloading! It's satisfying loading your own ammo and gives you a lot more options too. As far as your approach there are two schools of thought on finding the right load for your gun, find a powder charge and then tune seat depth or find seat depth and then work up your powder charge. I've done both ways and I believe it's really all personal preference because you can arrive at the same place either way. I think once you settle on a powder charge doing a seat depth test similar like Bryan Litz outlines on Bergers website will tighten your groups up if your looking for tighter groups. Also the chronograph will show you a lot about your reloads as well as your shooting when you learn how to use it. Keep at it and congrats again! [/QUOTE]
