[QUOTE="huntintoo, post: 1888872, member: 34540"] You need to know how fast the bullet is going (usually gives a pretty close number on the box), then match it in the Hornady book with a powder you like. Work a load up from the lowest increments in .5 grain increments to get close then .10 grain increments for ultimate best group. I like Ammo Guide (ammoguide.com) you can get pretty close with the bullet you like and get a good idea for powders. Once you build a load that gives you a group within your acceptance range you'll be hooked! And though you'll shoot cheaper in the long run you'll be doing it for every gun in the house!! [/QUOTE]
