[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 909206, member: 61747"] Yep! Ha ha I read an article that discussed pressure in regard to depth and how pressure builds within the case. This relationship produces pressure spikes and average pressures. It seems the more linear the pressure vs a spike the more accurate the load. I am no expert but my tune for a lr hunting load is to get the highest possible velocity within the safe pressure level. I then tune for accuracy. Personally I have better results slowing down the velocity and tuning both. For example my 204 can shoot 3780 to 3800 with different depths but at 1 depth it tightens up. Another example my 6.5 - 284 has an accuracy node around 2750 to 2800 then again at 2950 to 3000. The lower velocity produces a bit better accuracy such as .18 but at 150 fps faster it is .3. I choose .3. Some people would probably disagree with me though. [/QUOTE]
