Ok so I just wanted to share how I do load development and to see how others do theirs. I found that I can get to a sweat spot in about 30 shots after break in.
1. 10 shot ladder test at. 2 grains increments to find a velocity flat spot. Let's say that 43.2 grains of whatever powder was a flat spot.
2. Using 43.2 grains, load 3 shots each of 030, .020, .010, and .0 off the lands. Let's say that. 020 gave the best group and low ES.
3. Using .020 of the lands, load 3 each of 43.0, 43.2, and 43.4 and see what does best.
This usually produces a sub MOA group with really low ES. Does anyone else have a way to get to a sweat spot faster or would just like to share how they do their load development?
