    this is exactly the way i have been doing it, i usually graph them at the bench by hand and then i usually find 2 plateaus, a lower one and one right up near where it starts showing pressure, i usually just choose the flattest one of the 2 and then load in the middle, it has been working well for me.

    I have a second press that fits into the towbar of my ute and i take my Lyman gen 5 to the range as well running it off the inverter, this way i can do it all is 1 range trip.

    I usually have a load in 10 rounds or less, then i load a few to test it at 100 and maybe 3 - 500 so i would say max 20 rds and i have a solid load.
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.
