[QUOTE="Huckelberry75, post: 1310065, member: 7489"] Now for a serious post. Try backign the seating die out past the max OAL. Take a sharpie and "paint" the bullet, then carefully chamber the round. Remove and look for the marks left by the lands. If you see marks, slowly screw the seater in, until the bullet no longer shows the marks. This will let you know how far out your throat is and your own personal max OAL. From here, start setting the bullets in a few thousands at a time until you see a depth that shows promise. From there, work around the most accurate powders & loads listed in the reloading manuals. You can then adjust the powder charge up/down in 0.5gn increments until you get one that shows promise. Then work the chargesin up/down in 0.2gn increments until you find the sweet spot. It is a long process, and can be frustrating, but once you get there everthing should be all good. Note: this is assuming that the action screws are tightend to the correct tension, crown is good, bbl is free floated etc etc. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
