What enhancements?
FWIW, I have found that if I don't keep really accurate records of loads and accuracy, I just end up forgetting what I have done with which rifle. I always record on a sheet of lined paper, date, weather conditions, stock & barrel (receiver and trigger usually stays together with the stock, but I note that if any change).
Then I list the loads down the left hand column and the measurements in 3 columns. I always shoot at least 3 x 5 shot groups. This way if there are anomalies like one really crappy group out of 3 or a flier in every group or whatever, I will 'know' that when I review that information a month from now when I will have forgotten all those little details.
Then once I have that complete gun's favorite 2 or 3 loads, I write them down on a little scrap of paper and tape it to the barrel or stock so every time I grab one, I know with absolutely certainty what ammo to take with me.
Unless I get bored and take a couple apart and start swapping barrels and all that stuff, then I get to start all over!! Wheeeee... Now what other hobby allows you to tear your hobby apart and start over with the fun stuff... like shooting!?
