[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1460668, member: 41338"] Your right. Picking out a load from the data still needs to be tested so that's a trip to the range. I frequently do this type of test along with a max load test. I'll load up about 15 shots in .2 grain increments in the general area I expect my nodes to be. Then I'll continue to increase powder charges in about 1% charges just to find max load. If I find max load goes way beyond the anticipated performance band, I'll go home and load up some more in small increments and test them too. I seldom need to because I don't have much interest in flirting close to max. Like all load development, you don't always get the results you want but using a method that may reveal a nice little sweet spot along with a reasonable likelihood of accuracy potential while getting some data you'll need anyway in 15 or 20 shots isn't such a bad way of approaching things.
