Thread: Working up a Load in a Components Drought.

Greetings All,
Thankyou for your likes and posts. A good point about sticking to factory loads for initial assessment. I appear to be a serial purchaser of some calibres so have generally had proven handloads to fall back on. The last factory loads I purchased were two boxes of 7mmSAUM cartridges in 2004 with my Sendero. These shot well with velocity close to the factory claim which gave me a goal to work to. @Micky Duck I have noted your despair at the endless testing often reported and this was one of the reasons for my OP. Bench rest shooters and other long range shooters do extensive testing of their handloads to ensure longevity of precision at longer ranges but shoot way more than one three shot group to determine the best loads. For those of us who think 300 metres is an awfully long way extensive load work ups are at best optional.
Regards Grandpamac.
