[QUOTE="tom baker, post: 27794, member: 1350"] Hi, I just picked up a can of RL 22 this weekend to try in my 2506 and 300wm. My normal way of load development is: find the min and max grains for the type of powder/bullet weight you intend to use, then start at the min load 5 raise .5 gr load 5 raise .5gr and so on. Next I shot them for groups and mic each group and record it in my logbook after I finish shooting I look to see where the tightest groups occured ie: 73.5 gr=.621,74 gr=.582 and 74.5 gr=.613 and those were the smallest groups. I then go back and load 5 at 73.2,73.3, and so on until I get to about 74.8 and then go shoot and find the best 2 groups and load 10 of each, shoot them and the best group is my load for that powder/bullet combo. There may be a better way but this works for me. Good Luck Tom Semper-Fi [/QUOTE]
