[QUOTE="tdot, post: 1742477, member: 91330"] I've been reloading with a 10 round ladder test since sometime in 2014. I don't remember the name of the fella who designed it and wrote about it, but it seems similar to the Wheeler method above. I assumed the Saterlee method was a new name for the same test. I didnt realize until just reading about it now, that its 100% velocity based. Am I understanding that correctly? I dont think any of my best loads lined up to the velocity node alone. The results that I see on paper were always the driving force to finding good loads, not just the velocity. Letting velocity lead the way seems like letting the tail wag the dog. Not sure I want to sit down and test to prove/disprove it in my situation. But I know the Alex Wheeler style load development works. [/QUOTE]
