[QUOTE="jes10x1, post: 182426, member: 8715"] [b]Testing loads[/b] I have no argument for 15 rounds per try, but 7 will give you an ok idea as you are culling out the large numbers-and save wear and tear on the barrel. Cast out a flyer in each group, if necessary. Just to make things interesting, that's not your only variable. I shoot an AR in competition and when working out my 600 yd load, I found that seating depth varied my group from 1 to a max of 2 moa. Off the lands wasn't the answer. My Krieger barrel liked them .035" off - go figure. Experiment with the charge until it's good. Play with seating depth, perhaps primers and then look at seat depth. Any comments? [/QUOTE]
