Sweet I'd listen to Nomercy. He taught me the "ways of the force" if you will. Loading up some bullets with different charges, powders, bullets doesn't tell you much except that you shot a good group(s) during an outing. That's what I used to do too. The science is finding a load that shoots the best under all conditions - meaning one that is the most stable. It took me 6 months of shooting almost every weekend and loading different rounds during the week of different combinations to find out what my rifle likes and what is consistent by running them through a chronograph and shooting paper.
Sit down at the computer and do some research on load development and you'll be amazed at what you'll learn. Yes, any load you have will work for just about any hunting situation. But to get the best consistency at all ranges there is a lot more to it. For me its fun.
