    Did a ladder test from the Hornady book and my sweet spot was 22.8 with the 62gr FMJBT’S ... funny how Hodgdon show about 27gr max and that is 2+ gr above max from Hornady ... hate that

    I know the feeling. Hornady starts off so low. At least with my lee book I can start from the bottom and work my way up .3grs at a time and be at or near max by the time I get to the tenth row of my ammo boxes. I usually try to keep it to 3 round groups until I find decent accuracy and work around that
