Like many of us, you should document each load and find your favorites. Then it's less research time the next time you load a particular caliber. I'm up to 9 calibers that I reload for now (After 1 year of reloading) and each it thoroughly documented as to what was the best (OAL, Powder charge, Primer type, bullet type etc)
It sure is a fun hobby using science!
I assume this is always the case & in my class I reinforce the importance of good records for your handloads. Nothing worse than having a good load or bad load & then not having the data for it.
