[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 253321, member: 4885"] Bookworm, You are on the right track. As long as you are using the same bullet and get a load that is consistent and near the same velocity, the drop data you get from the factory loads will be useful. You may need to adjust it a little for the change in velocity, but using the same bullet with comparable velocities will give you a lot of valuable data that will easily transition to a slight change in velocity with your reloads. I'd look for loads that have around 90%-95% fill capacity and the same velocities you are seeing with the factory loads. This will get you very close. Good luck, AJ [/QUOTE]
