I assume that everyone has seen the small packs of various brand bullets they sell now for load development. It seems like a great idea, but the way I develop a load these simply won't work. I have always loaded in groups of 3 with the same bullet and powder.....as in 3 rounds of 43.5 grains of powderx, 3 rounds of 43.6 grains of powderx, etc., etc. Then I shoot them in groups of three until I find the loads that shoot the most accurate and load up more of those....say 43.6 grains, 43.8 grains and 43.3 grains all shot best then I load more of those and then narrow down from there. In doing this obviously the small development packs will not be enough to find a good load. So my question is....is there something I am missing here or are these load development packs just a gimmick? I just can't see how a pack of 12 bullets can be enough to develop a good accurate load. If there is a better way that makes 12 bullets the perfect number, please share it with me because lord knows it would save me a LOT of money on bullets! ha ha.
