[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1886692, member: 101859"] It can be hard to visualize whats happening. We want the barrel traveling up when our bullets are exiting. You know this is happening when you increase powder charge and the poi drops. Faster bullets leave lower than slower ones when the barrel is traveling up. You best grouping will usually happen at some point very near where the barrel stops and changes direction (top or bottom). My original description may not have been the best because it will be hard to see small poi changes in a hunting rifle platform. Focus on the high and low points of the wave. Once you find a good load, I would also load some a few tenths on both sides of it and test it at distance to see if it holds up and if not, which way it wants you to go. If you have no access to shoot past 100yds at all, then you have no way to verify your load at long range and I would limit shots to 500 or so. [/QUOTE]
