I am good with my process. Like I said there are plenty of methods that work and there are methods that take less time and effort. Maybe...

Since you are using a AI 30-06 I suggest using a slower burnrate powder and take advantage of the extra case capacity.The 30-06 case...

It is a critical mistake to watch velocity as the priority during a test where the idea is to learn where the accuracy and precision are...

Some load development process's are better than others IMO. A guy/gal has to find what works for their program. I'm a ladder test at...

The process can be as lengthy and technical as a man wishes. Or a helluva lot simpler, just preference.

See if you still think so after you read those articles in the links above. If you found a charge weight using The Satterlee Method and...

TLDR: The "velocity flat spots" evaporate once enough samples are shot. Watch the targets first Grasshopper, then the chrono.....

"Sometimes" the fire forming load will shoot so small it can be hard to replicate. Probably has something to do with a milder pressure...

+1 Even if you consider that the starting pressure in the case is 14.7 PSIA, and you are squeezing the volume of the mandrel down into...

Run them through the expanding mandrel. Primed or unprimed. No difference. I have done 10s of thousands each way. NEXT time, run...

May I say this suggests to me a ladder test, which is meaningless @ 300. The test you should have done is OCW group testing with 3 shot...

Any chance you could post just the portion of the target containing all your hits? The text on the powder loads is too small for me to...

Thats called a pressure ladder not an OCW test. Though since you shot at 300yds you might be able to pick up an accuracy node between...

Forgot to mention I necked the cartridge down in 2 steps. Started with a .304 then down to .293.

Sorry, I had forgotten about this thread. The rifle is finished. I used a Forester 7 PRC FL bushing die. I ordered a Wilsom 7 PRC inline...
