[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1687650, member: 41338"] [LIST] [*]10-15 to determine your maximum charge weight (one shot per charge weight). Do this over a chronograph if you have one. Even if you see no signs of pressure, if speeds are to high, your probably over-pressure and aren't aware of it. [*]About 20 for rough seating depth test (5 shots per each seating depth) [*]About 40 for powder charge test (maybe 4 shots per charge weight) [/LIST] By now you've probably found your load. You'll need to confirm everything and test at range as well but I don't count that in a workup. [LIST] [*]5 shots per primer tested (maybe 15-20 shots). You should do this if things aren't working for you. Once in a while, the right primer will cut your groups in half. [*]15 to 20 shots fine tune seating depth (I pretty much never need to do this). [/LIST] At this point if I don't see what I need to, I'll probably move on to a different powder/same bullet or different bullet. Could be the gun and not the load also. [/QUOTE]
