Load for accuracy

Shoot'em where they shoot....if that's on the upper end so be it.

I always develop a load to find the best accuracy. When I find the best grouping load, I pull out the chronograph and record the velocity. That is only for setting up my range card for my Swaro Z5 to know where to hold for the hashmarks on the reticle.

edited to add: It is a .340 Weatherby, and the best accuracy load is within 50 fps of the Factory published velocity.

I load for accuracy but expect to stay within 100fps of book maximums. Let's face it; no one wants their 7mm mag to shoot at 7-08 velocities even if it shoots well there. I'm not at all interested in exceeding book maximums. If you exceed the book maximums there is a fair chance that you are also exceeding the recommended pressure, even if you don't see any pressure signs.

Yes - there are always exceptions but this is how I view it.

If the max load doesn't shoot good then….Add more powder!

My computer had a problem and I had to re-register so I just took out the space between Rich and Coyle and registered as RichCoyle.

I tried to notify moderater to no avail. Certainly I am no techie.

I was starting to think there was a junior and senior or just a split personality thing.

One personality: When I was working I was not nice to the bosses.

Second personality: The rest of the world of folks knew me as a born again Bible thumping fanatic.
