[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 98232, member: 12"] Green 788 I sure do not get where you think using a ladder and a chrono does not allow you to find a pressure insensitive load because it most certainly will and with extreme accuracy and not MOB. It is super easy to spot the nodes, record the fps nodes and see when the MV and pressure normally jump. As you do not believe in using a chrono with OCW you might find one node but miss one to two more and not necessarily the top node if fps is your goal. If I want to build an accuracy load for a mag gun, I simply seat at max oal, shoot the ladder and tweak the load and finally seating depth backwards. I will let you in on a little secret that us poor uninformed LR BR guys know about seating out in the lands. If we seat out into the lands we reduce pressue with a given powder charge vs seated to a mag OAL. That has been proven time and time again with pressure strain guages and Oehler 43s. Now why would we want to seat at mag oal if we did not have to, and increase pressure. Lot more subtleties to this game than you have mastered and learned yet, but keep on trying. As far as me being able to hit one shot what I am aiming at, do not bet too much money on that. I have spent a lot of time on unknown distance ranges and targets with 24 years in Special Forces, shooting with the Army Markmanship unit for a short time and I just happen to have a 308 with 16x IOR w/MP8 that gets a work out occasionally. Will readily admit not as good as I used to be consistently especially on the ranging ( I cheat and use the Leica 1200 now), but I am as good as I once was more than occasionally. But anyway sure is fun talking about it. Get you a 308 and try it. BH [/QUOTE]
