Load a couple each at SAAMI length, starting at the midpoint charge and working up to the max.

Check velocity, looking for pressure signs, especially ejector marks.

Find pressure sign charge weight, then back off .5 grain.

Then I use this method:

It has worked well for me.

This method! It's cut my use of components trying to find a load in half

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
