Give it time. Before you know it, you will be experimenting with different powders, bullets, etc.
Chronograph will come next.
I have a pretty extensive test regiment for a new rifle with a mix of powder brands and loads.
I usually shoot 10 shot groups with each load and keep accurate records. I try to NOT know what load I am shooting or see where the bullet hits to keep the psychology factor out.
An excellent load should yield sub 1" groups at 100 yards. I have had ragged holes, and I have shot 5-6" groups (my normal AR-10 hates Hornaday and Varget).
It will piss me off when I have a ragged hole going in a group, then catch a flyer that completely ****s the group up. Sometimes a bullet is just bad. The new 155 grain Palmas have been doing this. Frustrating.
