[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1630999, member: 38048"] I shoot a 6.5 creed in 1000 yard competition. It's not fussy and can shoot real tight. You need to chronic your loads first and find your nodes. Then work your loads that are near the top of the node. Look up Scott Satterlee load method. I use it on every rifle I start loading for. It hasn't failed to produce the correct powder charge yet. Really low SD/ES numbers. When you get the node use 1 tenth increments above and below. Then do your seating depth test to get smaller. I do it in this order every time. 1) shoot 10 rounds in 2 tenth increments up to your max. You will normally see 2 nodes. 2) nodes will usually be 3 charges wide. If shots 6. 7. And 8 are a node concentrate on 8 it will have the best SD/ES normally. 3) load 1 tenth above and below and 8 and do 5 shot groups. 4) take the best and do a seating depth test. 5) once I have my seating depth test I take the best of them and repeat step 3. You are done for that set of components. So for a total of 55 shots you have the best load. But I have to do more because a 1000 yard tune is not a 100yd tune. So I shoot above and below again at 1000 yards to find my tune. Seating is normally good for all loads once you find the depth it likes. Shep [/QUOTE]
