[QUOTE="FURMAN, post: 1553851, member: 26535"] I am not sure how you misunderstand Scott's method. It could not be more simple. The problem is it does not always work. I completely agree with most misusing the OCW because they always get emotionally hung up on the most accurate load even if on a scatter node. I will add that Scott's method probably does work on some cartridges that are simple to tune like the 6.5x47, the 6.5 CM, the Dasher etc. I have just not found it to be reliably repeatable with most hunting cartridges such as magnums. Trust me I want it to work so bad it just does not. The fire breathing 28 Nosler eats throats. You do not have time to waste on load development with cartridges like that. If Scott's method worked everytime I would use it. The ladder performed at 600-1000 actually only takes a few more shots. Like I said the target does not lie. One more point to bring up is positive compensation at long range. The ladder does not solely rely on small ES and SD. Most of us hunt in changing conditions and the loads need to be stable over those conditions. [/QUOTE]
