[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1335998, member: 77514"] All the methods work, whether Ladder, OCW or Satterlee's 10 round load development. Properly done they will all lead to the same place. I see no reason not to use the one you feel most confident in, then verify with another method if you wish. Having a chronograph helps with the first two and is mandatory using Satterlee's method. One thing to watch for on the OCW: Locating a scatter node can be as beneficial as locating an accuracy node. According to Dan, and I have seen this with my rifles, nodes are typically about 3% apart. Therefore, if you locate a scatter node, multiply that charge by 1.015 and that should put you on an accuracy node. Dan recommends that the OCW be shot at 100 yds so wind is not usually a factor. I am not as experienced as some of you at long range, but I have never had a load that shot well at short range that did not shoot well at long range. [/QUOTE]
