[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1095469, member: 85389"] elktaker, ALWAYS use the minimum charge listed for the bullet/powder/cartridge powder combination you are testing to find your seating depth sweet spot with. Also go to our website main page and under the INFORMATION tap click on TECH TALK then go to VLDs Making them shoot and click on "MORE". This will give you instructions on how to do your testing by the number instead of jumping around. You may also want to go to the ACCURATE SHOOTER website to find tips on how to properly set up a chronograph and what light conditions work best. Always make sure your rifle is fouled to its "optimum" point by shooting at a practice target until the bullet strikes stop rising and begin to cluster. Do this before ANY chronograph or group testing so you get accurate results. Once you have found both your seating depth and velocity accuracy nodes . Take your clean rifle out to the range and fire 3 cold bore rounds at a target. Then finish this range session by fouling the barrel again to its optimal point ( by now you should know how many rounds this takes) and take the rifle home and DONT CLEAN IT. Take it back out to the range the next day or so and fire another 3 shot group from a cold fouled bore.
