Yip sounds good just be aware that pressure will likley increase as you approach the lands. All my loads start at the lands or mag fit and work back from there.
You have loaded at least 3 or better 6 at each lenght all with the same charge? if so one should stand out as a better group hopefully then you can fine tune length either side of it then re tune charge
