[QUOTE="BlackTail30, post: 3080666, member: 8632"] No argument at all from me! I agree 100% and that is exactly how I do load development. Find pressure and back off. Load up 10 and shoot a group at 100 yards. If I don’t like it I’m changing bullet or powder. I’m not going to play around with charge weights or seating depths. If I do like the first 10 shot group I load up 10 more and validate at distance. In 25-30 rounds I know where pressure is, shot a group with enough data points to feel good about it holding up, have a 10 shot zero for my rifle and load combo, and I’ve validated the load at distance. Done! I think the funneling bias you refer to in the beginning of your post, where we pick “the best” from small sample sizes and keep tweaking is a recipe for disappointment. [/QUOTE]
