[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2795048, member: 100742"] I used to shoot 15 to 18 rounds per specific load. now its down to 9 or 12 per load. I get tired now. Any Change to the load at all, Like 3/10ths grn more powder make 9 to 12 new rounds for that Groupe, then 9 more for the next change like 3/10th of a grn more powder. The same goes for seating depths . Average of 9 rounds for each range Test, 27 rounds on average . Sometimes 30 rounds. Then go home and clean the rifle, and using the same matched cases, anneal and remake the loads for the next step in the testing process . Back to the range in a few days to "assess the damage " or see if I have improved anything. Doing this right now with a short 20 inch barreled 30-06 , with a new Leupold VX 3 scope and new Timney Trigger. Looking for 1 MOA or slightly less, if possible, for next seasons Penn Deer Hunt. [B]My Expectation of the Rifles/Scope / Loads performance is determined by its specific use. [/B]So my Rem 40 X BR in 6mm BR needs to shoot .2,@100, but the short .06 Woods Rifle needs to shoot one inch. [/QUOTE]
