[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1941271, member: 109113"] This is exactly what Steve told me to do - start long ( max magazine length, but not closer than 20 thousandths off the lands ) and work back in only one direction with changes to the loaded length. He said that it may or may not make a difference in accuracy, but working in only one direction was emphasized. I do it that way anyhow, and have been doing so for years. Everybody says that no monolithic bullets work well jammed into the rifling, and even with the relieved bearing surface, apparently these are no different. Avoiding pressure spikes is the thing with this method. If you do all your pressure testing with the longest loads, you won't get big surprise by moving the bullets closer to the rifling. [/QUOTE]
