Thread: Testing a conventional approach to load development

For hunting rifles I load one round of 0.5gn increments upto max or even a gn or so over
I shoot those with the sole purpose of finding pressure signs
(essentially my personal max)
After that i decide on the maximum safe in my rifle
Load a batch and go hunting

Target rifles require a little bit more fucking about as you are trying to get the most possible

But for a hunting rifle I don’t give a fuck if it shoots 0.1moa or 1moa it really makes zero difference
And to be honest if a modern accurate hunting rifle (tikka for example) can’t shoot 1moa with that method then you would probably get more from changing your projectile and or powder choice than fiddling around for hundreds of rounds


@gimp is right for sure but it might have been more beneficial to prove the point to spilt your 20 round groups into 4 separate 5 round groups and then share the average mean radius
It just would’ve made more sense to people who didn’t really understand what you are trying to prove
