[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1164646, member: 12"] That may be Sierras computer theory, but in reality at 400 with a 300 WSM I normally see about 1"-2" per .3 increment with a 15-25 fps jump in MV until I hit a node. At that point it is routine to have 3 maybe 4 rounds within 1-1.5" and the MV jump drops to 4-8 between shot. Next shot it will jump 1-2" and MV jumps back up to the larger intervals. With a 20 shot string, I will normally find two nodes maybe three, but I use both the vertical AND the MV. Then I routinely repeat another day. IMO, a chrono will tell you just as much as the incremental jumps, but then I use an Oehler 35 with 3 screens and 4 ft bar. And yes, it is repeatable. I have done it many times to confirm. When I first started, I have repeated a ladder 3 times with same results as far as finding the nodes just to ensure it really worked. Now all of that is with a match grade rifle and barrel. Factory will be all over the place routinely unless you get a good one. Yes, I am fully aware you do not believe anything less than 20 shots into 2" off hand standing on your head at 800 is significant but each unto his own. :) [/QUOTE]
