[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2795174, member: 48043"] I guess I've been lucky lately. We've brought a few new toys into the house lately and most have required about zero load development. The Savage Impulse 300win is sub moa out of the gate with two different loads (165 gr. and 200gr.). She's got a bit longer throat than my Browning so I might stretch a few out to 50 thou. off the rifling and see if she improves. If so, she'll have her own brass/ load. If not, the rifles are similar enough that I'll load them as equals. My S&W 10mm is doing well with the first powder tried with a brand new RCBS 200gr bullet mold. I may work the charge up a bit but I want to put her on the Labradar first as if it's good enough I'll leave it. As far as range sessions I'll usually bring at least 50 rounds per rifle and there's 3 of us shooting most times. I'm usually lucky to not have to load 100 rounds or better and clean 1/2 dozen guns when we get back. Primers are a bit of an issue, but I'm not critical yet. I'd like to have a few more bricks waiting and ready, but I'm still doing alright all in all so I haven't really backed off because of that. I have actually started streamlining a bit by loading some of the oddball stuff in mild loads in rifles like my 30-06 to burn off the stuff I don't intend to re-buy. The trouble with this is I've found a few really good loads by accident. [/QUOTE]
