[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2466738, member: 116181"] If you wanted to start now you'll probably end up close and can tweak your way to a final load. Find your windows and adjust back into them. Personally I would wait, but I don't have enough brass to put significant wear on the barrel while forming. I try to find something decent for fireforming, use it until the cases are grown, then do my "real" load workup. I don't view that as wasting barrel life because the forming loads are usually pretty good, and really what's the harm in using up even 10-15% of barrel life with the forming loads if it makes the last 75% better? I'm viewing my 243 AI as a 1,000 round barrel, anything past that is probably just luck. [/QUOTE]
