[QUOTE="OKCHunter, post: 3281540, member: 8534"] I don't know if I do it right or not. I start at the bottom of the powder charge range and load 3 rounds. I increase the charge by 0.3 grains and load 3 more. I do this throughout the published load range until I reach the maximum. I shoot these rounds, sighted at the same spot, and look for those powder charges with the tightest grouping. After finding these "nodes", usually two or more, I work on each side of the node loading 3 rounds, down and up at 0.1 grains, and then shoot the rounds to find the load with the tightest grouping. That powder charge is where I choose to load in the future. Caution - it's different for every rifle, even if the same caliber. [/QUOTE]
