[QUOTE="300rum, post: 878717, member: 6231"] You are on the lower side of the loading charge Every load have 2 sweet nodes 1 - at lower load and 2nd at maximum load (or near) try to find your maximum powder charged by loading in 0.5gr increment Example: book says your min load should be 60gr and max 68gr fr H1000 with that particular round load one round for the following - 60, 60.5, 61, 61.5, 62, etc up to 70.5 (note this is way over the book max load charge) shot each of them and pay maximum attention to PRESSURE SIGNS (marks on the case, flattened primer, sticky bolt, hard to extract case) and STOP RIGHT THERE. this is your max load for your rifle (lets say 69gr) Even if the book says 68is max for your file 69gr is the max. then reload 3-5round for each of them up to 68.5gr(0.5gr less them max load) and shoot groups to find the 2 nodes. you are done.... DO NOT CUT CORNERS. YOU CAN GET BADLY INJURED OR WORSE All the above is just example how you have to find the 2 nodes. The above min and max charge are NOT REAL. Look on the reloading manual for starting and max Load and follow the above technique. [/QUOTE]
