[QUOTE="7mmTikkaShooter, post: 2039433, member: 92915"] I pick the bullet planned to use and load 50 virgin brass with a starting charge weight with plenty of bullet jump. Shoot 1, clean for the first 5, then shoot 2 clean, shoot 3 clean, and follow that pattern until the 50 are shot (last two groups are 8, then 10 to finish). During the loading process though the first 20-30 I’ll load at a long jump but then I’ll start adjusting seating depth longer and longer to see if there’s a seating length that shows some promise. After the 50, barrel is broken in, virgin brass fire formed, and typically I’ve indicated a seating depth range to start load development. Just my method, not sure if it’s any better or worse than others posted but seems to work for me and gets some load development started. Fun to see how many methods there are out there. [/QUOTE]
