Over the years now I have SOP for new guns
9mm I test with custom loads of 147 RN behind 4.3 grains of Titegroup
10 rounds at ten yards
10 rounds at 25 yards
I keep the targets in a binder and depending on how often I have been shooing I rerun the test about once a year some times twice. Add them to the binder and compare till I start seeing a pattern.
I have and old XD45 with an unknown amount of rounds through it that I used for most of my IDPA/USPSA and multi- gun matches for about 6 years and the damn thing shoots better now then it did when I first got it.
For the 45s I'm running 4.5 grains of bulleseye behind 230 grain rounds nose for test.
