What's your proceedure for working up a rifle load?
I was just wondering if any of you had a preferred method for working up an accurate rifle load. I've got everything I need to begin handloading for my 22-250, but I'm still reading and researching trying to get a feel for the "best" way to approach load work-up.
The components I'll be starting with are Win. brass, once fired in my rifle. Win. large rifle primers. Hornady 55gr. V-Max flat base bullets. Varget powder.
The only data I could find for the 55gr V-Max with Varget was from Hornady's wedsite, which lists a starting load of 30.8gr at 3,200fps, and a max load of 34.6gr at 3,600fps.
How fast should I step up the powder charge? How many rounds should I load at each step? Etc...
Thanks,
Mike
