All year
Always testing loads of various calibers and makes of rifles
Keep records of components, groups , and POI
As time draws near I decide which components spark interest
Look back at records to see if POI will need adjusting for selected load
Sometimes loads I have never tested in game , but test good on paper and curious to see how it will preform
Have found any center fire will work as long as bullet placement and reality of what caliber is capable of is in tact
Lucky enough to have a 100yd range in back yard
So playing isn’t a real pain in the ass
Got some farms I can go to for checking myself and loads at greater distances
Remington 700 in 222 and 243 keep me in check On groundhogs
Paper for larger calibers
Love shooting almost as much as hunting
