I have been getting my feet wet with loading 30-06 and .223 and have been looking at videos on testing loads. I started with 55gr and now loading with 69gr and have used Vmax, Nosler CC and Barnes. All of these have been loaded at starting loads. Have been using IMR 4064 and Varget. I know tests consists of other powders/brands. But for what I have at the moment wanting to go further and see what and how to determine what gives me a better result if applicable for my rifle. As mentioned, have been looking at videos but the search has yielded many forms of testing on youtube.
Is there a process that is widely accepted and/or used in order for one to find out what one's firearm likes better? I am testing on Savage 12FV 223.
Weight, powders and brands have been chosen from reading online what has worked/used for others and from here as well along with recommended from here. I understand one's results doesn't indicate it will apply to me or yield the same results. At least for me, this has been a starting point for me and I will eventually might/have to try other powders/weights/brands down the road.
