RE: Load development procedures
First thing I would do is forget the bore butter patches. Swab the barrel and start on a clean bore. Why do you want to smear a film of wax and natural oils on your rifle barrel? I also start the shooting at 25 yards and shoot until I can get a ragged hole in a 5 shot combination. I then know the best powder/projectile combination. I do swab between shots but use a 50/50 solution of isopropyl alcohol and car windshield washer fluid.
I then move back to 50 yard to see how the projectiles behave. From there I move to 100 yards and fine tune the load and the scope adjustments from there. Then move back to 25 yards and do it all over again.
