3. I go the range and test my loads. The load that is consistently accurate gets the nod
This is a key. I was convinced, based on reading, recommendations and initial testing that I had settled on the perfect powder (HP38) for 230gr FMJ bullets in my new SR1911. I loaded up various tweaked versions of the tested tested and proven load to find the perfect load- little longer, little shorter, tad more powder, tad less and for kicks, worked up a few other loads using N320. Lo and behold the best N320 load was even better than the best HP38 load in this particular gun. Apparently my gun doesnt know that HP38 should work better under a 230gr ball. It also doesnt know that I am not that good a shot because it insists on making me look good every time
