[QUOTE="Shadow6arc, post: 2935894, member: 127664"] Depends on how you define success, and match ammo. Imho you can get very good results overnight, even on par with factory match ammo, given a good basic process. I believe i forgot 1 important item, a chronograph. I feel it does help a fair bit in load development. My process is simple. 1. Load up and shoot start to max looking for pressure signs. 2. Work back down from max, or however far you got in your workup to max. 5-7 shot groups in 1% ratio (max charge 30g, go in .3g increments 50g/0.5 and so on) till you find an es/sd your happy with. 3. Adjust seating depth. Use the manufacturers over all length, then work back in 0.003 increments. Usually 5 to 7 groups. This will Adjust the bullets time in the barrel to tune it to the barrels movement or harmonics. I have cut group sizes in half doing this. And your done [/QUOTE]
