[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 653792, member: 9253"] My observation is that I get lowest velocity standard deviation with loads between 95 and 98 % case fills. Within that range I use ladder tests at the rifle's maximum useful range for smallest groups. I don't tune for short range groups. I also keep my loads under 90% of SAAMI max pressure with modern cartridges and firearms, though that's for longevity of the firearms rather than short term accuracy or energy. I just don't use cartridge/bullet/powder combinations where compressed loads are needed. [/QUOTE]
