[QUOTE="sourdough44, post: 1009472, member: 16114"] I start by looking over powder charge weights from several reputable sources, net or manual. Then I start in the lower/midlin area. I may adjust the charge weight some if the bullet has some differences from most listed in the data. For COL, seating depth, I measure to what point that particular bullet touches the lands in the rifle bore. There are different types of tools to do that with. I compare that COL, to book numbers, and magazine limitations. I then want just a bit of leeway to the shorter side for normal variances. For most of my shooting and hunting I don't need the ragged edge of max, midlin/upper is enough for me. [/QUOTE]
