[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1900436, member: 54383"] Ok first yes those should be node you are seeing. Second I usually find the charge weight first then take the best of those and start messing with depth. The other way would be to find a general consensus of what the bullet you wanna shoot should like for jump and try that. Or simply do a ladder test with different depths starting at 10 thou off the lands and working out. Third option would be to load with hammer bullets and not have to worry about jump much. You could also help trouble shoot your issues by seeing what you es and sd are on your loads. If you are hoping to stretch it out for long range say over 500 yards where bc is king. Then look more for those numbers than what it doing on paper at 100 within reason. Also I’ve had this happen a lot. Make sure when shooting you are giving ample time to cool the barrel between shots. I’ve run into that many times where I would get that random shot ruining the group. Happens most on thinner barrels but I even have one heavy barrel shotgun that cold bore mapping with print clover leafs, but back to back shots make a 3” group. [/QUOTE]
