[QUOTE="Iowaboy, post: 341010, member: 16343"] So I started out by coming here and found on a old thread that someone had posted load recomendations from Berger for various different powders. Then I loading one bullet at the lands (measured with Hornady OAL gauge) each in .5 grain increments from 66-70 grains of H-1000, and 64.5-68 grains of Reloader-25. Never did see any signs of pressure, like loose primers or hard bolt lift. What else should I be looking for? Also its kinda cold around these parts this time of year how far should I push it trying to find my upper limit of pressure? Then I loaded up 3 bullets of each amount of powder for both types of powder and shot them at the 225 yard range. As a matter of fact my best group with Re-25 was the 68 grain load. I do have access to a chrony, but from some of the reading I've done on here I didn't know if they are to be trusted anyway. Plus this last weekend when I got a chance to shoot the chrony was at my Dads and thats a 4 hour round trip. I'll pick it up this weekend for my next range day. Should I try moving up some more in charge weight till I get pressure issues before I start messing with oal some? [/QUOTE]
