[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1588516, member: 104268"] Interesting results. Sounds like something as drastic as changing powder negates a recipe. This is sorta my experience too. I hope the brass change isn't as critical, but we'll see. I gotta agree in practice. I'm sure there are rules, but tiny explosions in tubes just has too many of them to keep track of... I've tried several ladder tests recently, with 270 and 300WM, and used 0.3 gr increments for a total velocity spread of about 75-100 fps. That range may be too narrow, but I tend to run rifles just under their max capability, and giving up more than 100 fps is hard to swallow, without some miraculous benefit. My results showed no discernible pattern in the 300 WM, beyond "more powder = more speed". The 270 was utterly random. It's not that great of a shooter though, so I didn't expect to find a magic recipe. At one point, for both rifles, I thought I was seeing something, so I repeated the tests to overlap the potential "node" and didn't see any sign of it the second time. [/QUOTE]
