RE: Question about load developement..your opinions please
Toby, you' ve put forth the one of most scienctific ways of approaching load development that I' ve seen suggested in awhile. One group of five shots seem to show how well a load will work for me.
In the past I' ve always had my best goups from bolt action & single shots with neck sized, lightly crimped loads. I haven' t had a need to try fully resized loads in several years. Concerning crimp, if you are useing any gun with a magizine I would at least lightly crimp all loads, otherwise you can end up with bullets that are backseated or unseated.
Good Luck
