[QUOTE="CaptDru, post: 2915078, member: 102813"] I kind of do the same thing as willfrye027 and have had success finding a load. Saves time and components. This is what I do: 1. Run a pressure velo ladder to find max with bullet seated at .20 off the lands. This is usually done in under 10 rounds. 2. Load 10 at .5 - 1gr below max depending on velocities I am seeing. I shoot 5 for a group and 5 for velocity data. I am usually done after this. I have done 6 different rifles like this and only had to tweak seating depth on 2 of them. Interesting thing was those 2 rifles were factory. The others were customs or semi customs. ES has always been under 20 and SD's have always been single digits. 5 shot groups have always been at least .75 moa @100yds with the majority being .30 to .50 moa. This is good enough for me as these are just hunting rifles. Rifles I have loaded for 25 creedmoor, 7RM, 25-06, 270wsm, 243 and 6.5 PRC. Hornady recently did a podcast on something similar and Hammer bullets recommends this for their bullets. I tried it with bergers and it has worked. Shot my 6.5 PRC with 156 bergers out to a mile.
