When chronographing for .308 ncrements are your powdercharges from one group to the next. 1/2 grain? 2/10ths of grain?
 
Re: ??Hypothetical question regarding powder choice??

The reason we try several powders looking for that magical load is that all powders shoot differently'

To answer your question I start with .5 grain increments and work up to max load. Then I find which load did the best and work around it in .2 grain increments. This has always worked well for me.
