[QUOTE="Tony Formicola, post: 2469001, member: 103851"] My approach to reloading is from step 1 every shot counts towards load development. When I get a new rifle or barrel I'll load up a middle of the road charge with a set of several different bullets at some arbitrary distance off the lands depending on the bullet type and weight I will vary the charge and jump to be middle of the road. I shoot groups with these during fireforming. I'll often get a good idea of what the rifle likes from this which will give me a starting point. In some cases the bullet that I designed the gun around is not the winner. This is just a first cut but at least I'm working towards a goal other than mindlessly breaking in a barrel. I hate to hear when someone shoots a box or 2 of ammo in some break in scheme without using the opportunity of every shot to sight in and learn something and the call me all proud to tell me about it.
