[QUOTE="RockZ, post: 388904, member: 5750"] I use a combination of blind luck and good fortune! It's been working so far . I've got numerous rifles that will put 3 shots in 1-2" at 565yds. Actually I use quickload and determine the best powders and target velocity that will get me to the desired node( which is the optimum barrel time-OBT). I do pressure workups at the range and shoot through a chrono so I can get actual data so that I can tweak the program to fit my exact parameters and results. Then I shoot groups to bracket the obt powder charge to find the optimum charge weight(ocw). I find the ocw and do a seating depth test to find the opimum seating depth. This should bring the shots into one nice hole. I then shoot a ladder at 565yds bracketing the charge again to see which powder charge shows the least vertical at longer range. Usually I change the powder charge about 1% until I find a load with very little vertical. I doesn't take many rounds or many groups to get a good load. Unless your rifle just doesn't like a bullet, but you will know that pretty quick. If you'd like you can send me your info and I can work something up. I need the cartridge, barrel length, bullet,oal,powder, water capacity, and if you are on the lands or off of them. If you have load and velocity data it would really help. Then I can see what might bring you to the higher node. [/QUOTE]
