Trying to make reloading easier.

Once you are settled on your “developed” load shoot 20 rounds at a single point of aim recording all chronograph results.

To compare, pick a random load somewhere in the middle of the published load data. Shoot 20 rounds at a single point of aim and record chronograph results.

Now do it again from field positions. This will tell you where the time and effort is worth spending.
You are saying you don't do this all the time yourself but you are trying to help me be more efficient with my time and components?

No. I am saying iI have done the whole chasing loads thing in the past and have found reloading with quality components the “nodes” do not exist.

Given a larger sample size, the difference in your loads will even out. What is more important it shooting from field positions and getting squared away there.

This is an example.
I loaded same brass, same powder, same primer.
Loads are 41, 41.5, 42, 42.5, 43
Velocity was from 3000-3160 for both bullets but it clearly liked one bullet better than the other.
Won’t shoot the 108 elite hunter in this barrel…

It does like the 105 hybrid.
