[QUOTE="8andbait, post: 1161125, member: 40850"] This is not gospel but this is how I do it. I pick a seating depth at .010 from the lands or mag length. Then I load up .3-.5 grain increments depending on how much powder is used (.5 in your case) I shoot them round robin at 100 yards looking for two or three loads that impact in the same vertical plane. After that I fine tune with .2 grain increments. For instance, 60. 60.5 and 61 all shoot to the same or very close to the same distance from the vertical line on my target. So I load 60, 60.2, 60.4, 60.6, 60.8. 61 and shoot them at 300 yards this proves the first test was no fluke and also lets me see what happens a little further out. After that if I am not satisfied I will play with seating depth, moving them further from the lands in .010 increments and shooting them again at 300 yards. Good luck, I love load development, have fun. [/QUOTE]
