i went the whole ,load up from min to max in .5 increments in my 223 burnt a lot of powder and lead and in the end settled on a load that's pretty close to a hornady load that shot well out of my gun,,the 308 i went straight to a factory load that shot well and copied that ,a lot less tweaking and i had a round that shot a tad under moa and i haven't played with the seating yet (and as its a hunting rifle most likely wont) This may not be the best way to find a load if your going for tiny holes in paper but it works for a hunting load and you don't burn half the life of your barrel trying to find it jmo
