LeadWasp Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Evening all What would a sensible step change be when initially developing a load i.e. finding your own max safe charge and any initial indications of peak accuracy? Would 0.1gr be right or 0.5gr? Would I be right in thinking that the combustion rate of the powder comes in to the answer........? I'm looking at v-560 and IMR4831 thanks guys cheers LW Edited May 27, 2015 by LeadWasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I know jaff all but use 0.5 grain increments to find the sweet nodes. After that I use 0.1 or 0.2 grain steps on bigger cartridges More experience will be along soon and put us right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadWasp Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks - I'm looking at 48-50gr starting loads so 0.5gr is 1%-ish. 0.1gr initial increments would be depressing on a 4-5gr min-max load range......but then again I am risk averse(!)

LeadWasp Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Cheers I'll go for 0.5 then - if you're at garlands this weekend you can patch me up if I lose my eyebrows! Edited May 28, 2015 by LeadWasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeadWasp Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Time for a counter attack - Operation Deny Sex has proved itself in the past so can be considered a multi-theatre strategy. Don't apply it for too long or it can have the opposite effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
