A previously asked question here.... you guys were unanimous in doing powder loads before bullet jump. Hunting rifle.

If I'm reading it right, Berger recommends doing the jump first, then going to powder loads development .

What say you? Again.

I had planned on working back from lands after powder load development, but Berger's method also seems pretty good. 24 loads in 6 rnd lots .040 apart, then refine from best. Anyone do this? Results? Problems? Do it again?

Finally, once jump to lands is found for one bullet weight and brand , will this hold true for others of different weights , shapes, or brands?

Example - going from 130 to 150 gr in a .270, or from Sierra 130 to Speer or Hornady 130, keeping jump the same (obviously to be differentially seated to same as needed because of ogive shape differences, if any.)
