[QUOTE="milo-2, post: 2491788, member: 33622"] The velocity ladder, I am not sure people who use this method even care about initial impacts on target. It is more about sample size and tight numbers, followed up by seating depth tests, which IMO has to alter initial numbers some. Your method, the Audette ladder, or OCW method are considered dated as the sample sizes can be too small. Either way, the desire to be right and therefore develop a following is too prevalent. The way I read things, the velocity crowd seems to feel that barrels do not have accuracy nodes, so OBT, OCW, and AL tests are really not a thing. So no longer can numbers shrink in accordance with group size. I myself think the Satterlee method was taken way too far out of context, and variations of it sprouted. BUT, it works for a fair share of people. Thing is, the division between the 2 methods, but I honestly feel if one guy actually makes a strictly chronograph based load that shoots extremely well, and you took his rifle and made your load with it, chances are your load and his would be close to identical. Different paths were taken to get there is all. [/QUOTE]
