Not new to reloading, but new to precision reloading for an AR. The setting on an adjustable gas block controls how much gas is diverted into the action and thus affects both muzzle velocity and additional variables like bcg cycling, etc. As such, I would think it would have a significant effect on load development.
Do you do initial load development to find an accuracy node with the gas block closed, then tune the gas block, then go back and re-test the charge weights closest to your node, then fine tune, or what? Is there a generally accepted method, or does everybody have their own way?
