[QUOTE="Zen Archery, post: 2682837, member: 60545"] Real Numbers Example 223cal 70gr HH for 223 Wylde Nosler suggest starting 23gr Varget Since I shoot gas gun I’ll start 22gr Varget. 22gr = 2500 23gr = 2625 24gr = 2750 25gr = 2875 I notice slight case mark and flat primer at 25gr. I’ll then load 2 bullets 24.3 24.6 24.9 25.2 The 2 that shoot best is what I’ll go with, even with slight pressure sign. After doing the above method for years. I now just stick to the 25gr pressure load. I can gain slight advantage in ES, SD, and tighter groups by playing with .3gr variations. Will do so for Prairie Dog Loads. But for hogs and coyotes I don’t bother with it. Dang bullets always seem to shoot under 1MOA even with the sting of 4 different loads. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
