[QUOTE="abstewart66, post: 2614354, member: 44549"] Keep in mind that pmax and z1 are not always exactly the same for a great load, but in my experience, good loads typically have these 2 indicators relatively close together. Also, when using OBT, I read somewhere that barrel length tolerances can be within a half inch, so a 24” bbl can actually be anywhere from 23.5-24.5, and if you are using the OBT chart, my experience is that, for instance if looking at the 1.228 node, the QL barrel time number might be 1.19 or 1.29 for a good load, so you can’t be too anal or you risk getting frustrated. And, keep in mind that some powder-bullet combos lend themselves to larger accuracy node windows than others. Thats my experience so far, and I hope it helps you as you progress in this hobby, which, in my opinion is loads of fun and a never-ending learning experience. [/QUOTE]
