[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2728453, member: 7999"] We would sell so many more bullets if we told people to shoot 5 shot strings in .2g increments in order to find a load. Shoot 1 shot 1 charge in 1g increments to find pressure. Aim them all at the same spot so you can read your target. Find pressure and back off of it. Then load multiples there to see if it needs to tinker. If you shoot Hammers at this point you are usually done. With other bullets you may have to adjust seating depth and charge weight to find what the rifle likes. If a guy is running a 28 Nosler and follows barrel break in procedures and then load development like this he will need a new barrel just when he gets a load. Oh, I almost forgot about fire forming each piece of brass before starting load development. I won't keep going but I think the OP could afford another rifle if there wasn't near a thousand shots to load develop. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
