I’m very green to hand loading. So please bare with me!
Right now I’m working with RL22 and H4831 for powders as that’s all I’ve been able to obtain so far. Primers are cci 200 LR. Nosler brass. My bullet choices right now are 162eldx and 168 Berger vlds.
As of now I have loaded up the 162s with both powders in varying weights to test.
I haven’t loaded the Berger’s yet. But for a noob, how would you guys suggest starting out for powder weights? I’ve read so many forums my head is spinning haha. I don’t want to start out too low and waste powder.
How far below max do you novice loaders start your development?
Rifle is a custom build off of a blue printed rem 700 action. 24” 1:9 Carbon six with 7” can on the end. So far with the eldx I can sit on the lands and still clear the mag. I backed them off to about 3.335. I believe I came off .100 from the lands if my calculus is right.
Any advice would be huge! Thanks guys
