[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 1095686, member: 44168"] first of all get a log book then if the brass is once fired in your rifle neck size, trim sort, and do all of the prep you deem necessary. After that only use 1 brand of brass, keep the rest for different trials. Now start with 1 bullet and 1 primer. Eg., Fed. brass + speer 180grn sp + cci standard primer set your seat depth to the book quote. Then choose a powder start with sug start load and load 5, increase by .5 grn and work up to max checking for preasure signs then log each load + group. Make a special note for the most accurate. Now using the same brass, bullet and primer repeat your case prep and do the same with a different powder. Once you see witch powder is the most accurate you can work with different seat depths. But, wait here is the good news, with each different bullet you get to do this all over again. My fav rifle (a Sav. mod. 11 in 7rm), loves 150 grn sp's and etips. Works very good with 139grn and 140grn sp's. Shoots good with 175grn BUT no way can I find a load for 162 and 165 grn. Go figure. Have fun:D [/QUOTE]
