[QUOTE="VTbluegrass, post: 2214225, member: 104786"] I can't say if I used more or less components having a chronograph but unless you are shooting long distances its not going to tell you much. I mostly hunt at "traditional ranges" up to 300yards because it would almost take effort to find a spot with a longer shot. For years I just loaded up a few in half grain increment and went with the best one or if everything was crap I moved to other powder or bullets. My best 270 load was 100fps slower than I thought it would be but it never underperformed on game. Also think about what are your goals, you can spend a lot of time chasing unnecessarily small ES or even tiny groups when you would be better served shooting and gaining skill at shooting over the "lab work" of reloading. For my rifle I do shoot across the beanfield at distances where consistent numbers really matter I got more into the weeds. [/QUOTE]
