How many test rounds does everyone think is enough before just cranking out rounds? In my particular case, these rounds are just for plinking. I'm wondering because I got sent home from work 3 days ago due to a positive rapid test, and need to remain "quarantined" for 2 more days (PLEASE don't take this thread down THAT path....). I just started reloading 9mm on my single stage press as a way to burn up the winter and didn't think I would need to burn up time for another couple months. A few weeks ago, I had pressed together 4 loadings, 10 of each, in 0.2gr increments from min (4.4gr) to max (5.0gr) for the particular bullet and powder combo I had on hand. Out of the 40 loaded rounds fired from my Glock, I had no failures of any sort and no pressure signs out of any of the loadings. I had a slightly better grouping, off hand, using the 4.8gr loading
Now, with all that said. Would anyone have any concerns about pressing together my remaining ~450 projectiles worth of rounds having only done a test sample of 10 rounds of the loading I will proceed with? It would be a great way for me to burn up these next 2 days
I'll stop you before you say "Well, the range is like quarantine if no one else is there, just go shoot some"
My wife and I both work the same shift, and she didn't test positive, so unless I walk my ass the 14km to the range, that won't be happening
