[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 971208, member: 61747"] I am sorry but I am struggling to follow your process. You are not happy with velocity and not happy with accuracy. Your accuracy falls off as you increase velocity via more powder............correct me if I am wrong. If the above is true then I suggest this: -seat the bullets around .010-0.015 off the lands and test the charge weight until you start to see pressure signs: bolt lift, flat primers/cratering, ejector marks. -Lower charge weight .5 grains from max. - conduct seating test such as .010, .025, .050, .075, .100, .125. One of those should give you a good group to work with. Then you can + or - the powder charge a little or change depth a + or - .005 to get best results. IMO- I would not mess with a low charge weight for any sort of LR application. You are leaving all the potential of the rifle on the table. [/QUOTE]
