[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1957966, member: 38048"] No problem. The reason I drop the bottom half of the node is that the top half has the best sd and es numbers by far. Normally the load right before the next jump (scatter load) is the one with the best numbers. I try to find a load just under this spot so it has some temp insensitivity. 100% of the time my best loads are in the top half of the node. Once I figured that out I don't even try the bottom half anymore. I think anyone who has played with this method long enough will agree. Lots of guys just want to go right for the middle of the node but it's definitely not the best spot. 75% up in the node seems to be a sweet spot. I found the exact same thing with long distance ladder loads that if 4 bullets hit the same place the 3rd highest of the charge weight was the one that shot best. So now I always start at 75% in the node and then find the seating depth. Then go up and down on charge from there. If your seating depth didn't move much you probably won't find a better powder charge weight on either side. I use this method to tune every custom I build and countless customers rifles. Its just simple and works. For 1000 yard there is no substitute for confirming your loads at distance but I start the same way every time. Shep [/QUOTE]
