[QUOTE="wisdeerkiller, post: 931358, member: 33147"] The way I do it with all my rifles is find the starting and max loads for the bullet and powder I will be using. I always shoot 100yds for test. So with my rem sps 308 I'm shooting 175 smk, with RL-15 starting load is 40gr max is 44.3gr. reload in groups of 5. starting at 40gr, 40.5, 41 and so on. going up by .5gr (check for signs of pressure the closer you get to max) some continue going to .1gr after that but that's up to you. this seems like a lot of testing but worth it in the end. my best load is 42.5gr with .40" group at 100yds. I shoot out to 1000yds. [/QUOTE]
