[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1957479, member: 1521"] I think you're doing a great job so far. Wouldn't worry yet about a mild clicking extraction, as this may be a bolt timing issue and nothing about pressure. Powder node methods(OCW, Satterlee) lead to FORGIVING loads. Barrel node methods (ladders, incremental load development) lead to ACCURATE loads. I say go for accuracy, as there is no more powerful ballistic attribute. Also statistics won't ever predict the abstracts in accuracy. You just shoot at enough distance to find it, and the barrel pointing and bullet directions on release will reveal the summation of it all. In other words, shoot a plain ladder and incremental develop within the good(between the bad), shown by that ladder. You have your velocity ranges for the test, you have your best coarse seating, your brass should be very stable by now,, time to see what it can do. And if 'SD' doesn't end to your liking -too bad -accuracy overules all your extra thinkings. [/QUOTE]
