Ok, I've decided on my bullet, primer and powder and located a few different sets of load data for this combination. My goal is to get the most accurate load for my kimber that will cycle the action reliably with a 16lb recoil spring.
So, now for the questions:
1. How many rounds do you typically load/fire of a given combination to determine reliability/accuracy? (assuming I'll be shooting from a sandbag rest)
2. How many variations do you try in a session?
My thoughts are to load 3 21 round batches (in a single session) varying each batch by .2 grains (using Accurate No. 5). Whichever shoots the best groups without and failures to feed or failures to eject is what I'll settle on.
Any and all critiques of my plan are appreciated.
Have a good one,
Dave
PS - I don't have a chrono right now.
