[QUOTE="BillR, post: 517999, member: 462"] Almost looks like your throwing too many variables into the works. When I start a new gun I will break in the barrel by finding a load a grain or so less than max and don't care what the accuracy is with it as I know this will change as I use new brass and the cheapest bullets I can find and besides breaking in the barrel with this load I am also fire forming my brass. Once the brass is all fire formed and the barrel broke in, (shoot clean, shoot clean etc. for 30 rounds and then shoot 5 clean, shoot 5 clean for another 20 rounds) I then end up with 50 cases that I neck size and trim to length and then begin my load work up. I also anneal those cases before sizing so I get consistent neck tension. I seldom use any powder besides one of the Hodgdon Extreme powders especially at this time of year. Outside temps can cause too many variables for me to deal with. When you bounce around from New case to neck size case to full length size case it introduces too many variables. Just pick one and work from there. [/QUOTE]
