[QUOTE="Txcowboy50, post: 2767057, member: 118571"] Lot of good information here. I start by keeping it simple. When reloading a cartridge that is new to me. I search LRH and find what works for members here; maybe 2 different powders and 2 or 3 bullets that have had good results and will work for me. I also look at the recommended seating depth for a particular bullet. Understand every rifle is different and what works great for one may be so-so in another. I will start with the powder I think will work best (or available) and make 5 or 6 in half grain increments load(starting low) for each bullet to be tested until I find a good node or pressure. I found different bullets shoot better with different powder but nearly always find a couple of sweet spot from the 30-40 loads developed using different powder and bullets. You can tweak if from there adjusting charges and seating depth and even different primers. [/QUOTE]
