The way a buddy taught me years ago is different than other posts recommended on here. I do mine in tenths instead of .5 increments. I'm just a novice and don't do much anymore BUT you might find a pleasant surprise by trying it. Guys say .5 is close enough while i have found that sweet load in between loading by tenths.
I also used to load test loads 5 to a time then switched to 3. I load more up and try when i see something i like.
Best of luck to you & happy shooting !
