[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1787871, member: 105459"] I agree with your logic and my magneto speed V3 chronograph is my best friend . As you pointed out [B][I]the tighter the vertical string is (E.S.) and the smaller the bullet placement is from point of aim (P.O.A.) the more accurate the load becomes. This is called the S.D.[/I][/B]. Other than performing a ladder test(Satterlee) I think it is called, your chronograph is the best way to establish a successful load development. Simply put as group size diminishes the lower the E.S. and S.D. numbers become. I myself keep working at both these numbers until I'm satisfied with my shot placement. I will start my load development at 100 yards and when I'm content with my numbers move out to 200 yards and beyond. I also carry with me my 3 ring binder which contains all per-tenant data as well as my actual targets which I print off an internet target generator site. At night I plug in my data from the chronograph to a spreadsheet in order to analyze it. This will give me an easy way to record , store , or compare records of previously shot reloads. At the range I've had other shooters ask me just what I record, and why. To that I reply with what I've already answered above. Couple that with my actual targets and generally people will want to know more by asking questions. I feel very fortunate to reply as knowledge and my opinion I feel is meant to be shared. This I was taught at a very early age from some very close mentors. What they instilled in me was that knowledge should be shared freely among those who are willing to listen , as there should be no great secrets in life that are kept locked away in a persons mind. Rather information should be freely exchanged with like minded souls. On the other side of the coin it is up to you as a individual to discern whether the information is valid or just so much nonsense. I truly enjoy this web site, because of the quality of it's subscribers but more importantly the amount of quality information that is freely given. To that end I wish to thank all of you for your posts, contributions , and time ! [/QUOTE]
