[QUOTE="std7mag, post: 2715725, member: 125590"] It all depends upon the cartridge/bullet/powder you want to work with. The powder that gives highest velocity may not give you best accuracy. If a large volume cartridge such as 300 Win Mag, i look at percentage of case fill. I don't want something that fills below 85%. Or above 104% case fill. If the bullet is a cup & core (Hornady, Sierra, Nosler) i seat it 0.020" off the lands & do a powder ladder test. Looking for 3 closest vertically. MY rifles like the VLD closer to the lands (0.005"). So i'll seat to that & do a powder ladder test. I'll do seating depth ladder after the powder charge. After that i'll shoot over the chrono. Then true my velocities and or BC in my ballistics calculator (Strelok Pro) at 600-800 yards. [/QUOTE]
