[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1168436, member: 4809"] I start about 2-3 grains below published maximum and then load one bullet at that amount. I then increase charge o.5 grains and load another and so on. I will usually stop about 4-5 grains above maximum for final load. But just because I load them all - it does not mean that I shoot them all. I shoot the lowest charge bullet over a chrony and slowly work up. I stop when I get a slightly sticky bolt. My new max charge then becomes one full grain below the sticky bolt charge. I pull the bullets from all unfired loads and use them for foulers. Once I have established my max in my rifle, I then load 2 or three (depending on how many targets I am shooting) and then load down in half grain increments until I have about 10-12 different loads to shoot. I will usually find a couple of nodes somewhere in there. [/QUOTE]
