[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 2831237, member: 118066"] I've loaded enough of the hammers now that I don't even try to sneak up on a load! I just start with a fill up it up to the start of the shoulder taper with faster burning powder, load two of them a head to the chronograph. If its a tight bolt lift, back off. If its easy add powder. Once you start seeing pressure, back off until it stops. Shoot it for groups, and work with the seating depth if needed. I've only changed powders to faster burn , never to slower. Once you get away from the small diameter bullets, .224,etc. I've found a jump of sixty to eighty thousands is where most of them like it. I think Bean jumps them more than that but he will have the confirm that statement. [/QUOTE]
