[QUOTE="74honker, post: 1933227, member: 113930"] Not as experianced as most others here but I pick the bullet, start at mag length or pick a safe point from measured jump. Pick my powder from reliable sources of research, manuals, this forum, other handloaders with experiance with said powder. I then start with powder charge and working those up in 3 shot groups till I get a decent group or 2 within the velocity range I'm looking for and then tweak seating depth to tighten them up. Chrono every shot. I'm sure it's not the cheapest and easiest but as a somewhat newcomer every round I make and send down the barrel I'm learning something and I have my own range out to 500ish yrds about 50yd from my door so a bit spoiled in that aspect.
