Lots of lessons learned along the way, so mixed emotions on those data, sir—seems 3.2 or 3.3gr is the perfect charge for every single 147gr I have tried thus far, for example...so no need for 5 sets of 10 on the first round of evaluation. No ladders were needed after the second or third bullet I was evaluating.Bring a spare battery for the chronie!
You must be in heaven with all that data to tally and analyze! :cheers:
Given that I'm loading minor for CO division, while yielding some interesting data and helping me understand the powder more, the 3.4 - 3.8gr charges, for example, are for naught.
Going forward, I plan to load just 2 strings for each new bullet I buy to evaluate. Once I ensure they meet PF nicely, I then load 20 more (on the press using random sample of bullets, not weighed out like I was doing for those standard deviation=2): 10 for the chrono and then 2 sets of 5 for accuracy.
...so I "wasted" a lot of components there, but some value lessons were learned *fo sho* so not a total loss.
