[QUOTE="Deviant, post: 1469379, member: 106404"] I start every new rifle with 60 rounds of moderate break in loads to fire form the brass and break in the barrel. Then I load up a ladder test that goes above max and stop when I see pressure signs. I use a chronograph and would definitely put it at the top of your purchase list as you can learn a lot with it. After the ladder/pressure test I perform the Berger seating depth test to find the sweet spot. If I'm not happy I switch powders and start over. This has worked very well for me but the most important thing for me is low SD and consistency which is impossible to determine without a cronograph. Al [/QUOTE]
