[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1757346, member: 103919"] I don't have access to a range where I could do OCW at 300 or more. So I use a ladder, and then tune with groups. I do two separate steps because I use a magneto speed. Even if I had a lab radar, the ranges I shoot at are often crowded (members and public can use the 100), so it is questionable if a lab radar would even work for me or if it would pick up too many of the stray shots. After I find the node, then I use groups to tune seating depth, then I come back and use groups again to fine tune the load. Then my last step is to shoot multiple groups to confirm and get a final chronograph. Most of the loads I've worked up this way are 1/2 moa or better (which is what I'm after), sd's sub 10 (most have been 5-7), and ES right around 20 fps. It usually takes 100 rounds to work through the whole process. [/QUOTE]
