[QUOTE="Power, post: 999369, member: 1759"] Once you have a load or two you like shoot at the longest range you expect to shoot at game. For me this is 300 yards. I've seen more than one of my pet loads just go to crap at 300 yards and I've seen loads that shoot 1/2" groups at 200 yards shoot worse at 100 yards. So best to punch paper as far as you can to be sure your load is up to the task you might ask of it. Most of my accuracy differences have been tied to different powders. COAL and bullet are easy enough to determine after a number of shots but finding the right powder for your gun takes time and money. I've tried RL 22, IMR4830, RL17, H380, and IMR4350 and the last one is finally doing well in my 300 WSM from 100 - 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
