[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 147115, member: 12"] GG I would like to hear just exactly what this "scientific' method is? How it is done? How it IDs the upper and lower end of nodes? If it does not do that, then a load will shoot good one day and if the temp goes up it will be all over the place. How it IDs the upper pressure range for that bullet powder combo? How it does it with less rounds fired than a ladder. I am all for something that works, and do not mind testing it. Particularily if it works faster than a ladder. I just find it hard to believe that you are shooting groups and ID the upper pressure limits and upper and lower ends of nodes in less than 30 rds. I use a ladder to find my upper end of pressure, my nodes and then standard accuracy loading techniques for fine tuning loads. I too look for low ES and SD and then test LR. So I doubt we are very disimilar from that point. I am interested how you use your technique to get the fine load Testing point with less than 20-30 rds fired which is normally all it takes with with a ladder and yet find those key points. IMO if it does not ID those points then calling it "scientific" is wishfull thinking. But I will sure try it if you say and show how it does all that. Got a new M40A1 just waiting to test. I am all for less shooting and faster load development. BH [/QUOTE]
