Beginners Luck?
Not too long ago I picked up a used rifle. Today I took it to the range. I reloaded a dozen rounds mainly to test the rifle. I picked a recipe from one of my manuals. I used one in which I already had the components on hand. They shot very well. In fact, even if I can't tweak better performance I won't be too unhappy. I am going to call this beginners luck.
So, has this ever happened to you? Your initial load for a gun happens to be a good one. |

My theory is, if it goes BANG,then it was a good load.

If you don't take that load and work up and down in incriments, how will you know if it is the BEST load????????????
Do you want a good load, or a GREAT Load??????

I'd try tweaking it to see if it gets better. Might surprise you.

Your a lucky man to get a good starting point rite off the bat. Just tweak it either way(unless your at max)and see what works best for your gun.

Will Tweak
I am going to tinker with this load a bit. My point was that if this is the gun's best load then I am satisfied.
