[QUOTE="redneckdan, post: 1894835, member: 8932"] I use the magneto speed. My load development starts with a wide spectrum ladder test, ie 20 rds over a 6gr range in the 6 creed. I then pick a node for a narrow spectrum ladder, ie 3 rds at .1 gr steps over a .5-1 gr range depending how wide the node is. This chrono data is done on gongs out to 600 yds and is by no means wasted barrel life. I use it for practicing form, learning to track through the scope, building shooting positions, etc. From that data I pick the charge with the best ES & SD and start with seating length to tune the accuracy I need. This is done without the MS attached. Using this method I may not get the MOST accurate load at 100yds but i get excellent ES/SD and in my experience that really starts to count out past 400 yds. I've been burned before when i used other methods where I found a really accurate load at 100 and the load fell apart at distance because of ES or a weather change kicked it out of the tiny node it was running in.
