[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1813046, member: 56094"] Normally I start with the bullet 0.020" off the lands and work up the powder charge. Once I find a load with good velocity, tight groups and low ES and SD then I work on the seating length. A lot of cartridges IMO won't group well with a starting or low powder charge. If you look at the Sierra manual you will see that most of their "Accuracy Load" are Max loads. Hornady states that the slow powders in the 25-06 don't start performing until you reach "90% of maximum to maximum" loads. [/QUOTE]
