[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 1112661, member: 14894"] Pick a powder and start 3 grains below book max Start with bullets .010 in the lands load a ocw in 1% increments to 1 grain over book max shoot ocw checking each round for pressure(if you see pressure don't go higher) find a node in ocw test then do a seating depth test from .010 in to .025 off After seating and powder nodes are found try different neck tensions and shoot over a chrony to see which one produces lowest ES and tightest groups. Work a load up like this at 100 yards and it will shoot good till it goes subsonic. [/QUOTE]
