[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 686337, member: 313"] When working up loads I typically load 3 rounds with each change. If a 3 round group doesn't look good why waste barrel life on 5 or more of each change? If a 3 round group looks promising then I'd try to repeat the performance or retest at longer range. The untrimmed length of new Lapua brass should not cause any inconsistencies, IMO anyway. I rarely trim brass (for uniformity) until after the first firing. New brass is normally at the minimum length and really doesn't leave much room for trimming unless you're happy with "shortened" necks. [/QUOTE]
