Yeah don't over think it. My buddy burned up an entire keg load developing for his rifle, so he has about 1,300 shots on his barrel and he was fireforming new brass that whole time and hasn't even reloaded any rounds for it yet. I was fully load developed by 400 shots and most of that was running reloaded brass.
He would load up say 10 rounds at 44gr, then 10 rounds at 44.1gr then 10 at 44.2gr and so on.
I didn't need 10 shots to tell when a load shot all over the place and I jumped up a half grain at a time and loaded 5 shots.
So when I fired shots at 175 yards and they were making 2 to 4 inch groups then all of a sudden I get 4 of the 5 holes touching, I figured I was getting pretty close.
