[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 82571, member: 3249"] I originally thought the pressure trace system would just be used for finding max pressure, and questioned whether or not I needed it or whether I would ever use it. Jim then told me that if that is what I was going to use it for, I was mistaken. He then went into detail, explaining how the system worked and what I "would" be using it for. He also refered me to some of the articles on his website. After talking to him and reading some of the articles, I began to see that the pressure trace system could be used in a similar manner to the famed "ladder test." Based on your bbls measurements(length, diameter @ different spots etc.), the program plots several nodes along the x axis. These are the theoretical sweet spots where you want the bullet to exit the bore. The program will show you where the bullet exits, all you have to do is adjust the powder charge so that it is on or at least close to one of the nodes. Jim went into much more detail, and to be honest, much of it went right over my head. Once I get some hands on experience w/this thing, I'll let you guys know how well it works. If it does work, it will no doubt be the best thing since sliced bread!!! [/QUOTE]
