[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1985302, member: 29370"] check out a youtube video from the 6.5 guys. They interview Scott Saterlee. He has developed a "10 shot ladder load test" that works very well. I have used it on a 7mm08 and a 338 Edge and both times got a load very quickly in 10 shots both times. Basically you consult the manuals to learn the min and max load for the caliber, then load in .2 increments looking for flat spots in velocity spread. It really is an efficient process and sounds like it would be ideal for you situation. Yes you need a chronograph because it is based off velocity not accuracy. Since if you have low ES the accuracy will be there but the opposite is true - you can have one hole groups and have terrible ES so at distance the load is a dud. Hope that helps again check out the video its very well laid out. best of luck [/QUOTE]
