[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1547818, member: 83267"] Keep great notes Only one powder on the bench at a time. Start loading with powders listed in the Nosler or Sierra manual as accuracy loads for your bullet weight. This will give you a much better chance of success quickly. Flashlight checking powder charges in loading block before seating bullets. Trim cases .005-.010 under book length. Only use a single shell holder of each size if you lose one recheck die shoulder bump with new one. Only bump shoulder .003 Roll finished rounds on the table looking for the tip of the bullet wobbling. If you can see the “runout” in your loaded rounds you have an issue in your equipment. This is all the runout or concentricity testing most people need. Pick a primer and run with it don’t drive yourself crazy beating that dead horse swapping primers isn’t going to magically make a 3 MOA group shoot 1 MOA. Maybe and I stress maybe you can drop your sandard deviation in a great load playing with different primers. Chase accuracy not speed. Did I mention keeping great notes [/QUOTE]
