Good Video on Load Development

[Doom]

This is a link to a video by Keith Glasscock on finding nodes. It is not about THE method but about the process. I'm posting this because I think it explains a lot of what I've have learned about the process. Yes, I use one of the mentioned methods but I have learned that the most most import thing from the method I use is what the rifle doesn't like as opposed to THE LOAD that gives the tightest groups.

Interesting. Have you ever noticed when you bump into an issue at the range or you get stumped developing a load that when you bring it up in conversations everyone has a different "idea" to solve the problem.?? I'm new to reloading and I see that a lot. Hard to tell who's right sometimes. WTT Mod.7 SS bolt .223 for .308 BF

You make a great point. It is hard for new reloaders to understand who to trust. The people that know are often high level competitors. Find the national team shooters in your discipline. They will help you. Some of the sports are competitive reloading and they shooters can hold back their secret sauce.

Your process and rifle are a little different and testing will be required. The internet jockey will not understand that Some things that work on a 6br are not going to be the same for a 284.

The shooters that compete with 3 rifles have a different view than those with one rifle.
