[QUOTE="hunter0925, post: 5828182, member: 13017"] Nso123 is spot on. You don't need to try to shoot groups but instead load a ladder in .5 or 1 grain increments. Once you find pressure, back off roughly a grain and load a group to verify. The only caveat is that they often like to be crimped by a Lee fcd and on almost all long action cartridges I have found them to like magnum primers better. On standard length cartridges I have had success with standard large rifle primers more than magnums. Now remember that this isn't a conclusive statement about primers or crimp but it generally works. [/QUOTE]
