[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1342124, member: 13632"] There is a balance here, you simply can't run hundreds some rounds to fine tune a load like a 6 dasher if your running something that your loading 80+ gr of powder in but it's pure luck to have a fine tuned elr load in a few rounds just due to barrel brake in. A regular hunting round for sub 1000 yard shooting a guy can keep it fairly low cause your not needing that fine tune. I always start with a pressure ladder just so I can focus my load development in a couple grain range cause for a hunting round I'm not looking for a low node! Most stuff I load I chambered so I short cut the seating depth and can usually just load a few three round groups and get on the course depth. Then I shoot a ladder in the grain range I want to be in and then take those results and do some three round groups to verify then I take it to 1000 yards and do a fine seating depth, then take that and start trajectory validation and it's done for long range. The end goal and aggressiveness of the chambering will determine the extent I dial in but I don't get serious till I have enough rounds on it that things have broke in a little cause it's going to change!
