does load testing ever end

[Adam Helmer]

Evan03,

Excellent Post and question! I have often wondered if load testing will ever end since it seems every time I visit my local gunshop there are a few more, new, powders on the shelf. I have pretty much settled on 3 or 4 rifle powders, 4 or 5 pistol and shotgun powders and called it quits on new load development since I have recorded all my accuracy loads.

Working up new accuracy loads is fun, but expensive and time consuming so I just keep reloading my old standbys that are pretty good. A friend visited me last year from England and he was amazed at the huge selection of components we Americans are blessed with. I took him to a few local and well-stocked gunshops and he was in awe. We do have it good in the component department and that is as it should be everywhere.
