[QUOTE="Dell, post: 1666492, member: 80665"] I start with a .015 jump then start playing with various powder charges looking for consistency in group sizes. Once I hit a consistent one MOA or less at 100 with 5-7 round groups, I start playing with seating depth on the selected load. I’ll move the seating depth .002 down at a time from the starting point (.015) and shoot again for group sizes. Once I have my desired half MOA or less, and it remains consistent, I’m there. As you decrease your jump, make sure to keep an eye on any pressure issues. Anyway, that’s a system that’s worked for me for hits on steel out to a mile and one shot drops on big game out to 750 with several elk, mule deer and antelope taken in the 400-600 yard range. Lotsa good ways to achieve your goals. [/QUOTE]
