[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1923096, member: 105459"] [B] Since You Have Asked !

I will continue until all 24 rounds have been fired .I will measure my bullet groupings in as listed below in order to determine my lowest SD & ES numbers. My trusty Magneto-speed V3 chronograph at my side I will use the Satterlee , and Ladder Test in order to determine which load has given me the lowest ES, SD numbers. I will continue adding powder incrementally until I am close to maximum recommended load. Again my chronograph will help me along with the above tests . Once I have found the optimum powder charge I will adjust my jump -.005 increments and watch my chronograph and targets for results. I will adjust bullet jump until I find my node on the magneto speed and I am for the most part done. If you do not have a chronograph or other tools at your disposal, please do not despair. After you have chosen all your components use your reloading manuals and load the powder that you have chosen to -10% maximum load . Beforehand check your brass case length and trim your cases to length if over size.. Make certain that you are using the recommended brand and size of primer. Load to the recommend Overall Cartridge Length ( C.O.A.L. ) listed in your recipe book and you will be done. [B]This is a good safe place to start.[/B] Take these handloads to your local range and fire them off, noting how they have impacted your target. If you are not satisfied start with only the powder and make small adjustments as described above. Remember only move in one direction at a time , either powder, or jump but not both together , or you will be asking for a Headache. Once you are satisfied with your groups and powder load now start working with the ogive (bullet jump) factor adjusting as described above. With a little time spent you will have achieved a satisfactory as well as round that will shoot well in your rifle. This is just the tip of the reloading process. It can be as easy or as complex as you make it. All will depend on your reloading needs and desires ! You can make handloading a very relaxing , enjoyable ,and fun experience. It all depends on your mind set ! If you find yourself in a quandary , just ask the members of this forum for assistance! [B] Best Of Luck !!! All this is called load development and is something all hand loaders perform ![/B][/I] [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)][B][I] In closing:[/I][/B][/COLOR] [I][B][COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)] One can not have to many reference books at ones disposal ![/COLOR][/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
