[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 1238046, member: 44168"] only 1 problem with books published by bullet (or powder), manufacturers is they all want to push their products. No problem with that at all. Get at least 1 more book Lee's 2nd edition is a good 1. Then confirm all of your loads before loading. You can also use [url=http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/]Hodgdon Reloading | Home[/url] and [url=http://www.alliantpowder.com/default.aspx]Alliant Powder - Home[/url] to confirm loads. Lets say that a load from your manual lists a 60.5grn max and a 52.0grn start of type x powder with y bullet, go to your other book (or web site), look it up they list 61.0grn max and 54.0grn start I would choose to start with 54.0 and work up to no more than 60.5grn. Load 3 or 5 of the start shoot and look for hi preasure, if there is none the next day increase by 0.5grn and repeat. Continue working up until you have your best accuracy WITHOUT hi preasure . Remember fast will not always equal accuracy keep all of your targets (with load data and date on them, I also put weather conditions on). Another point to remember is as your barrel heats up accuracy has to change so for each group of 3 or 5 you need to start with a cold barrel. [/QUOTE]
