[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1601083, member: 90080"] The last couple of years, I've gone to fireforming 100 pieces of brass just to get the round count up to where the barrel settles down. 25 will usually take care of barrel break-in. Then I do pressure tests on a couple of powder/ bullet combos over the chronograph, just to get an idea of what might work. Pretty quick, my barrel is ready to start work-up. Usually, a ladder at 400. When I'm closing in, I'll do some seating depth testing and finally some 10 shot groups to verify how consistent my load is. Plot all my come-ups and I'm through. [/QUOTE]
