How to find the perfect smokeless powder charge .  Loading for precision at long range (all calibers), with the nuances for .223.  This video is for the beginner as well as experienced reloader, and is Part 3 in the series.    I cover the process I used to find the correct load of smokeless propellant/smokeless powder.  I will be reloading 77grn Sierra Match Kings over Vihtavuori N135, N140 and Ramshot TAC; using Lapua brass and CCI 400’s.
