[QUOTE="KQguy, post: 263746, member: 9704"] This is my approach,first I decide which bullet I want to shoot,then I will get about 3 different powders that are known to work well with that load.I start 10% below max charge and work my way up until I get pressure signs,I shoot 3 shot groups at this point.I will do this with all 3 powders,shooting in .5 grain incraments.I will then take the best load from the 3 different powders and try to squeeze a little more accuracy out of it by tweaking the powder charge by .2 grains up an down.Then once I found the best charge,I will play around with seating depth to try to fine tune.Primers are the last thing I messs with if I am trying to get a little more accuracy.I try to get 90% there with the powder charge,and just use seating depth and primers as "fine tuning".If I cant find a good load after trying 3-4 powders,I will then try a different bullet.This is just my approach,I am sure you will get some other good aproaches from more experienced shooters than me.
