[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 442570, member: 307"] I would seat the SMK at .010" off, start at the lower range and work up. With a VLD I usually start at .010" (just habit) and go through the powder range I have determined. If none of those produce potential accuracy (.5" or better) then I start over, seat them into the Lands and Grooves (LaG), start low on the powder and work up till pressure signs show up. This may not be the best way to find a load with a VLD and others have different methods, I'm sure. I don't have a lot of short term patience for bullets that don't shoot right off the bat (I'll lay them down and try them later after I sulk about it for a day or two :) ). By the way, there is a good article somewhere on here about loading steps for VLD's, good read with good ideas. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
