[QUOTE="Clay Target Guy, post: 826250, member: 68920"] I do have one of the Hornady comparator sets, but at this point in my load development, the only thing I was looking to do was to make sure that the round fit into the mag box and wood feed. I have very little experince with Barnes bullets but here is the way I was going to go about my load work. Once again I have never jumped a bullet as far as I am jumping on this gun. I shot a few rounds with the three different powders I listed before and check vel. I looked for signes of pressure as I went up in charge weights until I hit the book max for each powder. ( The gun did not show any real preference for one powder over the other) so I went with the fastest of the bunch which was R25. Next I went back and loaded approx 20 rounds up using the max charge of R25 at the tested bullet seating depth. I ran each round over my RCBS consintricity gage to check runout. The worst runout I had was .002 and most was under .001 My plan is to take the rounds to the range and shoot a group. With powder, bullets, primers and brass being somewhat hard to get right now, I thought this might be a way to save rounds down range. At that point, I will bump the seating depth by .010 and try again ( I will be bringing my press and seating die with me to the range). I will repeat until I see the group start to get smaller and then open back up. At that point, I will go in .005 steps on either side of the tightest group I have. With any luck I will be able to find something that works within a short period of shots and time. [/QUOTE]
