I'm interested in how you test .45 ACP loads.
I'm interested in accuracy. I'm not sure I care about velocity.
So, you've got your 1911. You've chosen a powder, a bullet, brass and a primer.
You've looked up a starting load. You know what the max is.
Now what?
Do you go out and shoot 300 of them, then say "yup, feels fine!" and go on?
Or do you have a rigorous testing protocol that determines which load is really more accurate?
If you do, how do you go about it?
