    Im a pretty average shot and dont have endless supplies of powder pills primers and time. Im fairly confident I can recognize a load that has potential. Ill initially load say 9 rounds and shoot 3x 3 shot groups on the one target letting the rifle cool right down between groups. I only do 3 shots as my rifles are mainly hunters so Im not going ro be shooting long strings with them. As its cooling ive usually got something else with me as well to play with while its cooling. If its minute of a4 i wont bother and go back to drawing board if not ill tweak one thing at a time and see what it does, usually powder first. I guess if a first load shoots 4" or under ill have a play with it. Im by no means an expert but thats what I do. I guess first of all I should really do a ladder test...
