NICK... that was my intention... when I started years ago... find a good load, load a 1000 rounds & move on... the trouble with my plan, is that I'm not just willing to shoot one cartridge / gun until I find what works the best... so I have 100's of targets saved, with the load, gun, & date on them, to compare as I work my way through all the potential powders, bullet combinations, COL's etc.

at least with the "cowboy stuff" I have to have a "good enough" attitude... basically if I can shoot a 2" or smaller group at the proper distances, & I like the combo, & how it loads, it's going to have to be "good enough"

BTW... love how that Trailboss meters... I think the last I used the powder measure on was a stick powder... much tougher to use than the lil doughnuts
