[QUOTE=".25AOD, post: 144406, member: 7605"] I hear you Don, consistency is the key. I've noticed, however, that on my ladders (as well as many I've seen posted here) the "nodes" are usually a lot further apart than 25fps... more like 150-200 fps. I do agree that minimizing extreme spread is paramount. Also, I don't just settle for MOA accuracy. Once I figure out which load produces the highest velocity with the most consistency I further develop the load to .5-.75 MOA. That's about as good as I can expect sporting type rifles to shoot... good enough for a coyote or Mule Deer out to about 1/2 mile or so! As a side note, I wonder what would happen if you shot a ladder with the same powder charge and moved the seating depth around? Say... .002" per shot for 12-15 shots. Has anyone done this? Maybe I'll give it a try and post my results... as soon as I spend a day fireforming some 25-06AI brass. [/QUOTE]
