[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 254700, member: 9172"] Your clusters won't necessarily be the ones that have the closest velocity. First, find "THE load", powder wise. Then tinker with seating depth and neck tension. If you use VLD type bullets, you may want to start your tests with a slight jam. The danger in this is finding out you gun LOVES a jam and light neck tension, but the bullets tend to stick in the chamber when you try to eject a loaded round. Not very good for a hunting gun......GREAT for a match or PD gun. As far as your rest.....use THE MOST SOLID REST AVAILABLE TO YOU. I don't care what you will be shooting off of later, you want to test your loads, not your ability to shoot off a certain rest. Take away all of the variables you can controle!! Have fun!:) [/QUOTE]
