[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1642936, member: 10291"] For the last several years I have found that the fastest and most productive way to develop a load for a cartridge which I have no prior experience is to start with a “focused” search in the web. There are quite a few sites (like this one!) I consider viable, with some very knowledgeable participants. Whether for target or hunting, I will gather and analyze 5-10 posts, threads, articles, etc that line up with my requirements(bullet, ballistics, preferred powders, Brass, etc.), and attempt to establish a selection of promising loads. Also, I have usually found at least a few shooters that have extensive experience the particular cartridge of interest.....most all, very helpful. From there I will select one or two of those loads which appear viable and shoot a ladder to find the sweet spot for my barrel. The search process is usually conducted early in the preparation process, filling in dead time....Why re-invent the wheel if it’s not necessary. IMO. [/QUOTE]
