question on how to find the right load

[scooterman27006]

i have been reloading many different calibers for years and really without ever finding the "perfect" load - well i found this forum with google and it looks pretty good and other than a few friends and lots of books i really have a ton of questions but my first is this -- for the long time reloaders - what method or steps do you do in order to find this perfect load for a gun- now before you get started lol i shoot and reload from 204 to 270 well (204 , 220swift,22-250, 223, 243, and some for 270 and 30.06) i love my 17's even though i use factory stuff lol--anyhow i have tried to find loads for all these at one time and well i just get disgusted because one time the load will show some promise then i load several and they never shoot as good as i thought they would -now i guess this is reloading but i feel sure there are others that reload and have better luck than me and i just want to know how they do it lol - now to give you a little info on how i manage - i do clean my barrels good and i do like to use moly i am a believer in it so i use it i keep records and will gladly post what i have found so far for these calibers - until i read how the pros do it i have started doing this - i am going to start with one gun at a time and just shoot that one with different loads until i come up with something - i have a lot of contender and encore barrels in longer lengths and i will try to start with them first - my latest is the worst to figure out and i will post something on it seperate look for post on 204 - looking forward to reading in the forum
