In what increments do you tweak OAL/ogive to base?
In what increments do you tweak OAL/ogive to base?
I've found a good load with the 32gr SBK and I've been loading them with an OAL right around 2.255" - 2.260". I could load out to 2.300" if I grease the inside front of the magazine but in what increments do you adjust the OAL or ogive to base in order to see if you can improve? Thanks.

Here's a tip...read this book.
"The Book of Rifle Accuracy" by Tony Boyer
You can order the book from Brono Supply.

I work up mine in .010" increments until I find the 'sweet spot'. HTH

Thanks Rick, that's what I was going to try if I didn't get any responses.

For general purpose shooting, hundredths is fine.

That took a minute to sink in at first but then it dawned on me . . . duh.
