[QUOTE="giannid, post: 1316920, member: 58360"] Yesterday I loaded up my first rounds to start my testing. When I load to magazine length, the closest I can get to the lands is .01 so that's where I started. Loaded up 8 different batches of bullets with the minimum powder charge of 91 grains of RL33 moving each batch back .005 like Berger suggests. I must say it was a little frustrating as it almost seemed like there was almost .005 of wiggle room in between each batch so took a little time. Obviously there's a little inconsistency with the die, press, brass, bullets. I'll go and shoot next weekend and see which OAL shoots the best and then start playing with the powder charge. [/QUOTE]
