At what stage (round count) do you believe its ok to start load development in a 6 dasher. I ran a new barrel in today and it showed no copper after a 5 shot group with only 12 shots down it. I figure there is no point shooting then cleaning anymore if it will do that. Now I have a fireforming barrel so wont bother running too many more down it and wearing it out fireforming cases.
Is it right to start shooting and load work straight up or is it better doing it after a couple of hundred shots after the barrel has fully worn in?
