[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2214255, member: 11101"] Steve: Initial load development? I don't think it will help much, BUT it will help show you when approaching the upper limits before pressure signs show like others have said. (When developing a load, you will see where a certain "x" amount increase of powder will increase "X" FPS. When you don't see that same "X" increase fps wise with the same bump in powder charge you know you are reaching the top and it is pointless to add more powder for more speed because all you will be doing is increasing pressure.) Where I believe it will help you save on reloading components is when you have a load that works great, then you switch lots of powder. If the FPS is different, you can adjust it quickly with minimal shooting to get back to the same accuracy node. Where it also shines is to determine if the FPS changes with temperature (same powder charge). [/QUOTE]
