[QUOTE="zr600, post: 1687762, member: 104269"] I would try this. Use a chronograph that you trust and is accurate. Load up from low to high of what your load data is just do one at each charge level. Watch for pressure and keep an eye on velocities like was said earlier pressure might not show but would be there if your getting high velocities for bullet/cartridge speeds. Look for flat lines in speed. For instance I did a load on a 6.5 creedmoor and I went from 41g-43g in .2 increments and at 42.6, 42.8, and 43 the velocity spread was only 4 FPS so that leaves a lot of room for error on powder charge. So I loaded right in the middle of that my test loads made 4 up the longest they would feed out of my mag which is a ways off the lands if it shoots I’ll test it again if it doesn’t shoot I’ll play with seating depth, if that doesn’t help change primers if that doesn’t work I’ll try a different powder and if it won’t shoot I’ll try a different bullet then. Sorry for being long winded. If you need anymore help just ask plenty of knowledgeable guys on here. [/QUOTE]
