[QUOTE="rinodods, post: 778557, member: 12216"] I know it is tempting to start going to a lead sled and bench but make sure after you get a load nailed down you don't keep shooting it that way and expect your results to be the same in the field. Practice in a way that is more consistent to how you might actually use the firearm. As some have mentioned you could see variations depending how the gun is held. You have to train to do things the same way every time. I've noticed some difference depending on how I'm behind the gun or at least I think so. Need more testing to be for sure on that. You may also want to keep your data around and combine it with other samples as well. An optical chrony can somtimes be sensitive to lighting conditions. You might not always see the same readings from the same load on different days so keep that in mind. That crony may get you close on your ballistics calcs but only the actual shot counts.
