well his method states start 7-10% below max(which in manuals is 44.5gr). And I understand not looking for best group but consistant POI. So starting below that states load 1 bullet@2% above that, then another @2%, then another at 2% to have sighters and check for pressure. Then for the loads of 3 bullets it states go (.7-1% above then keep going up in those increments from previous load).

So that should look like this if my math is correct(using 1%increase in load):
[email protected],41.3,42,1
[email protected],42.9,43.3,43.7,44.1,44.5,44.9

using .7%:
[email protected],41.3,42,1
[email protected],42.7,42.9,43.2,43.5,43.8,44.1,44.4,44.7

at 1% looks like increase of .4gr and at .7% it is .3gr increase

So would I do the .7% or just go up .2gr each load and work up?
