[QUOTE="LocalJW, post: 2720062, member: 121012"] The way I would apply this to let's say my new 300 prc I am going to start loading for which I have never shot. Take my bullets (205 Bergers) Take my powders I want to test H1000 Retumbo N570 RL26 Load 1 bullet in .5 increments over the powder ranges for total of 10-15 bullets Shoot those 10-15 at the same target. Find 5-9 bullets with similar POI within the "dispersion/spread" i want. 3/4" Hunting. Then take the middle of that grain drop spread, load 20-30 of those. Shoot them all. That will give me my true spread. If I don't like it, switch powder, then switch bullets. Anyone see anything wrong or suggest different. The part that was interesting was their techinician saying that from your Min. to Max. powder range, you most likely will not see a huge variance and to just pick a single grain drop and shoot all those 30 at that range and it will tell you what that powder and bullet combo will do.
