DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think I will try loading 50grn vmax and one other similar 50grn head... Load 5 of both types of bullet at minimum powder, then as I said, increase both heads by 0.2 of powder each time up to max load. Then pick the best group of each bullet... Then maybe very lightly crimp the two best loads (of each different bullet) and see if it improves either round... Then pick my overall winner and stick with it so long as I'm happy with the results... Expect more questions and a good thread to read soon!! Quote Link to post

Personally I would go up 0.5 grains at a time to begin with. If you want to tighten it up even more drop down to 0.2 grains at the next reload session, when you are closer to the best weight. Going up 0.2 to begin with will be quite a mammoth task if you work from the published starting weight to the maximum weight. ATB 1 Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Agreed! Be easier to go up in 0.5 with each batch to find which load my barrels like best then maybe tinker with the load that grouped best... Just two batches, both 0.2 each side of the load that produced the best group.... Quote Link to post
