[QUOTE="joe0121, post: 510997, member: 26058"] First I look for the load I see posted most often online. For example lots of people see great results in the .300 wm wit 76 gr of h1000 and a berger 210gr vld bullet .010 off the lands or rammed in the lands. So i set my powder measured as exactly as my scale can (+/- 1gr which is about the norm) I work back 5 gr and load five rounds of each: with the pill .010 off the lands 70 71 72 73 74 75 75.2 75.5 75.7 76 76.1 76.2 Obviously the first light loads wont produce good accuracy or velocity but they heat up the bore and give me a chance to get into the groove. Pick the best three groups than experiment with bullet seating. this should get you pretty **** close within a hundred rounds. beyond that with magnum calibers you shoot your tube out before you finish your testing. also read the manuals and what people use on the forums to give you starting places. YMMV I have been reloading for exactly three months, and this is my variation on what others have done. worry about cold bore vs warm bore later once you have a load. [/QUOTE]
