[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 3078598, member: 83259"] I think what they are talking about is very accurate when it comes to loading their bullets as far as jump. Now if you’re talking VLD’s or other secant ogive bullets I think seating can have a pretty big affect. As far as ladders it is interesting getting them to repeat. I have had a few barrels that seemed to have a “flat spot” that was somewhat repeatable but I think that comes down to hitting a sweet spot on case fill and ignition and it’s never going to repeat exactly as it did. I don’t think there is anything magical about .3 grains more or less somehow shooting better and if you shoot a 10 or more round group you won’t be able to tell the “node” from the .3 grain different load. I love it when guys shoot a bunch of 3 round groups with .2 or .3 grain differences and all average about 1” and then one will be .3 and they think they have something. Do that again and let’s see that one load that shot .3 shoot it again at that exact charge. [/QUOTE]
