[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1933627, member: 26077"] Agree with those that pick a powder, seat to mag depth, work load up .3 to find max load (I always use a Chrono to determine max load via velocity, by the time most pressure signs show up you are WAY over pressure already). Using the max charge I then work shorter COAL at .020 at a time till you find the best group. Once I find the best COAL that also has some tolerance, as in group doesn't change much with .020 either side of the CAOL, I will drop powder charge .2 grains at a time to find if there is a more accurate charge than max. Only thing I will add is when picking powders I always start using the one that is temp stable and I pick the powder that produces the highest velocity with the lowest pressure. [/QUOTE]
