[QUOTE="Bdubose, post: 1957720, member: 104938"] My understanding is that the purpose of the Satterlee is to locate a velocity at which one can achieve the lowest ES/SD loads. I used to begin all my load workups with the Satterlee and found one very important factor: You can find an excellent velocity node inside a bad harmonic (speed) which makes the load worthless. Now I do some research on barrel harmonics, and begin my Satterlee test a bit before and after that speed to find the best of both worlds - the flattest velocity node inside the optimum harmonic. If I have to settle for low double digits in ES to keep the load inside the best harmonic range - so be it. FYI: I'm developing for hunting, not Bench Rest. [/QUOTE]
