[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2182513, member: 108576"] I recently loaded my 300 weatherby mag with a 200 gr ELD-X and this is my method and others may do it differently. In the reloading manual you have white numbers and red numbers and I start in the white and go up in .5 until I get close to red then .4 increments. I loaded 3 at 75.9 and 3 at 76.4 and 3 at 76.9 3 at 77.0 grs Re 22 and keep a log book with me when I shoot. Record accuracy at each load but not velocity yet.I got positive node at 76.4 but kept going as you may get a positive node again. At 76.7 accuracy fell off so I shot 77.0 and had hard bolt lift so I did not shoot the other 2 at 77.0. Came home and cleaned the rifle well.I then work on bullet depth and loaded 3 at 3.510 then 3 at 3.530 and 3 at 3.560 and checked velocity at 2969 fps and hit a positive node at 3.560 and stopped there. On a new rifle I work up in .2 grs at a time when I get close to red numbers. That's my method and have used it since I was young. I seen rifles over loaded and exploded on the bench with injury's 3 stations to the right,one serious so I try to stay out of red numbers but sometimes I get my best positive node at numbers in the red.
