[QUOTE="archangel485, post: 1985232, member: 97905"] +1 for Scott Satterlee's method, however you do need a high quality chrono or you will not get it right, which you have in the magneto. Besides being a retired green beret, the dude is a top level PRS shooter, a high level match director, and overall earns his living in the shooting industry, he knows what he's doing is my point, and as a bonus he's not arrogant about any of that. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me. And in my personal experience it has given me super low ES/SD numbers every time I've tried it, which granted is only 3 or 4 at this point. To make it faster, use other's experience for best powder/bullet combos for your cartridge, which sounds like you've already done. Just like [USER=83027]@601handryan[/USER] I also like to graph the velocities in excel so I can visually identify the nodes a little better, but it's definitely not required. I actually graph the differentials as well, but I am somewhat of a nerd like that. My last build, which was about 4 weeks ago, I found a load by firing 8 cartridges, I knew what powder bullet and primer I was going to make work based on research of other's experience, so the only variable was charge weight. I loaded 8 different charges, fired them over a high quality chrono, then made a selection. I did go back and load up 5 of my choice and do a 5 shot group to confirm ES/SD.
