Alright. So.
I have had my guitar for a while, and this is the 4th set of strings that i'm going to put on it. Sadly, i missed the part where it says you have to fix the intonation for different gauges of strings. So, my guitar was originally set for some really fat strings, and i'm currently using Power Slinkies. The strings i just bought are also power slinkies

So this is what i am doing:
adjusting the intonation using my old strings, and then putting the new strings on. They're both the same gauges. This should work, right?

yes, but I would advise running back through the intonation a few days after you put your new strings on also, just to make sure it is spot on.
Somehow even different brands have given me different intonation problems :P

Just my advice to check it again after a couple/few days to make sure
