[QUOTE="abinok, post: 93813, member: 16"] On initial impression, id load a few rounds with the charge wt used on #4, and a few between #11 and #16, banking on the idea that perhaps something strange was at work with #14. Id load a few at #12, and some at #15. Having a chronograph would make it an easier process for sure, but it can be done without. Id pick your loads to test, and load 6 rounds of each, then shoot at a pair of targets. After shooting, look at them individually, then stacked, so you have a pair of 3 shot targets, and a 6 shot target to look at. With the load that performs best of those, load 9, and repeat. You end with 3, 3shot groups, 2, 6 shot groups, and a 9 shot group to analyze the load with, while putting very few rounds downrange. Naturally, 3 shot groups will be smallest, with 6 usually bigger, and 9 the biggest, but if your 9 shot group is round, and small, you will be pretty happy with it. [/QUOTE]
