[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1405842, member: 2736"] The reason I start with powder first Is to find the best Powder and primer combination. What I want is a primer to get the best, most consistent burn from the preferred powder (SDs) this tells me that I have a very consistent pressure for best accuracy. I try to eliminate one thing at a time to reduce the number of loads required to find an accurate load. for years I tried hit and miss changes trying one thing and another. Sometimes I was lucky and other times I wasn't and loaded many test before I found the one that was best. With the price of components and barrel life becoming an issue, I decided to streamline my process buy taking a methodical approach and starting with one thing at a time and the first thing that was not effected as much as the others when other changes were made was the powder and primer combanation. When building a horse power engine, You first decided what fuel you will use, Then everything else can be decided. Cartridges have the same requirements in order to get performance. So I start with the fuel (Powder) and go from there. This procedure works best for me and eliminates excessive testing. Other may have/use other processes that works for them. This is just the way I work up accuracy loads for my firearms after over 50 years of reloading evolution. The best Method ? The one that produces the best results. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
