Generally not in the medium sized cases like this. Seems to be a big waste of time and components. 223 size I do half grain splits, and the big stuff I'll go two at a time. I remember reading an article where a guy was loading for a 300/378 Weatherby and going 3 tenths at a time......

It sure make life easier when the extreme spreads and small groups meet on the same target. This one showed it with the last two powders.

The funny thing about this, is the groups were shot with some old brass from another long gone 7-08 made from an eclectic bunch of old 308 brass neck down and turned. Some R-P, some W-W, some W-W Super, and a few Norma cases, and none were sorted by headstamp for the groups. And to top things off, the primers were all punch out from other brass that I sold in the past.

Wonder what she'd do with some detailed Lapua and "new" primers?
