What do you experienced guys do when developing a load? Do you start at the minimums and then go up by 1 grain increments until things start to "come together" then go back to the loading bench and fine tune by .5 grain increments or do you start somewhere in the mid range load data and go up/down by .5 grains?

Or????
 
I start with a start load and laod a 50 round box of 10 incremental loads of 5 shots each.

The first five are in 1 grain increments and the last 5 are in .5 gr increments. I go to 1 grain beyond the book max.

I shoot off a rest, preferably with a Chrony of each shot. I look for a round, good group. On the next test I test seating depths at that load and .5 more and less.

Sometimes I run into pressure and have to bring home the rest of the test.
