Research, and start really low on the powder and work up.
Chronograph is a must.
Headspace comparator tool is a must. You have to know where the lands are in your barrel, and the ogive on the load you are trying.
Again. Start really low on the powder.
Any info you glean from this site, or the web in general, uses it as reference only, not fact.
My AA2520 loads are for a Howa bolt action (2.32 COAL vs 2.29 in an AR with the right mags). IIRC the Howa lands are a bit farther out.
They will not work in an AR due to the COAL. The longer seating depth gives me lots of room for powder, and a bolt action chamber handles pressure differently/more than the AR.
