I had similar issues with a load development, and after doing everything mentioned above, the culprit was not the load. It was the chrono. There’s really no way around it, the best thing you can do is just stretch the barrel and see what it does. I trust that way more than any chrono. When it...

QL is an awesome tool. It saves a lot of iterations. Obviously you need to feel truth and tweak any load suggestion that you come up with in QL, but it really helps with narrowing it down to start. Highly recommend it if you plan on developing loads often.

Just as an update, I went out to the winter range last weekend and found some elk. Did the whole routine at several different ranges, ranged and dialed, got prone and augered in and dry fired on live animals out to 1000 yards. It was good practice and is helping me feel more comfortable. So if...
