I could use some advice here...
Since there are nearly infinite combinations of bullet design/weight, powder and charge, bullet seating depth, etc., etc., does anyone have a good formula or approach for working up a new load?
If a person just tries 3 powders and 3 types of bullets seated at 4 lengths, assuming they work up the charge in 5 steps, that's already 180 possible combinations.
Assuming you're shooting 5-shot groups to test, then you're looking at 900 shots just to test three bullets and three powders.
