[QUOTE="Koda_, post: 2969674, member: 121268"] yes. Im not the most experienced handloader but when I started learning I wasted a lot of time and components with the OCW test. Halfway into that I learned about pressure ladder testing and it was so easy, work up to desired velocity or pressure and back off a grain, look for 2 or more shots that are close POI and pick one or the middle. Load 10 at that charge weight and zero and done in 2 range sessions. The trade off is you have to shoot well that day or your might not find an accuracy node. In one caliber Ive had to do a second pressure ladder cause I simply started too low. In another Ive started over to fine tune smaller grain increments to find the node. [/QUOTE]
