[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1908734, member: 90397"] Gotta agree with the advice from Alex Wheeler. I am still working on load development for a new 6.5 SAUM. The barrel definitely sped up about 50-75 fps right around 150 rounds. That didn't mean that all the work determining bullet seating depth, barrel harmonic, etc was lost though. I'm in the process of going back and tweaking loads lower to get back to the velocities that were shooting best. In some cases, I'm trying a different powder because I don't like the new ES/SD with the revised charge weight. If you have a chronograph and keep records of what your are doing, it isn't wasted effort. It isn't like you can skip the break-in process without putting rounds through the barrel so as long as I'm spending the money on bullets, I want to get the most out of it. Getting fire formed brass out of it is just a side benefit to me as I'm doing the initial work with virgin ADG brass. [/QUOTE]
