[QUOTE="joep17, post: 1405827, member: 1457"] Oh the beauty of our hobby. Like a road map, there are a dozen ways to get to the same place. All of us end up at our destination but might have chosen a different route. For me I do a ladder test at 300 m and pick powder weight for the harmonics. I usually start this at 15 thou off the lands. Great part is that a chrono usually showed a low SD for these charges. Then I tweak the seating depth to get the best groups at 300 metres. 2 strange exceptions were a rem 700 in 308 that would not shoot unless there was bullet crush or jam into the lands before it would shoot anything well and a 270 that shot smaller groups at 300 than 100 which I put back to my bullet choice that did not stabilize until well into flight. Every barrel and gun has its own personality. Keep up the experimenting guys. [/QUOTE]
