[QUOTE="Patriot007, post: 1910807, member: 111276"] ""Run a ladder of my lowest acceptable velocity thru a couple grains over max"" The term " a couple of grains over max " just scares me to death. May I suggest you start with a LOAD DATA MANUAL. Then start your ladder test some where in the middle of the suggested weight charge. Then work up to the max charge looking for pressure signs. If you are using a chrono, log your data and look for a nod. You should see a low nod and a high nod. I would work around the high nod to find my load, and I'm always looking for pressure signs. As far as bullet seating, I would suggest starting at least .0025 to .0030 of the lands. This will help with throat erosion, and barrel life. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
