Get a chronograph! You'll enjoy it! :-) You'll also be surprised by the velocity some loads generate (or don't generate). Chronographs today are better and less expensive than they were not that many years ago.
quote:I didn't explain it well, but yeah, that's it. If the gun/bullet really like a particular powder, it's surprising how tight a "group" one sometimes sees w/ the 1/2 gr incremental loads.
So you only load 5 or 6 rounds at like
60.0
60.5
61.0
61.5
62.0 and then only use the velocity you like before getting a group?

I will eventually get a chrono to help shoot long range at 500yds or so.
I usually load about 20 bullets. 2 foulers and 6 3 shot groups in .5 gr increments. I dont care what the groups look like. I choose the 3 groups that impact the paper at the same point and use the load in the middle. I fine tune the group with bullet seating and I usually have a deceent load. I have no idea how fast or slow its travelling so unless I shot out to 500 I would never know what the drop is.
