[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1908255, member: 112192"] Maybe I'm thinking of something different, but isn't the point of the Satterlee ladder method to use less components and rely solely on velocity data and not shooter ability? How can shooter error be a thing using a velocity ladder that solely relies on the chronograph? You can literally shoot your ladder into a dirt pile right in front of you and get the data you need. That's why I use it at least, I look for the velocity nodes so I [B]don't[/B] have to rely on my shooting ability ... obviously you gathered both group data and velocity data which is nice, but couldn't you save 12-14 bullets and powder and get the same outcome using just the ladder ... then shoot a few groups to fine tune the load with seating depth adjustments? Nothing wrong with either method of course so do what works for you, but the comment about shooter error in a ladder made me scratch my head a little. [/QUOTE]
