[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1353589, member: 97414"] I totally agree with you Wheeler,,, the old turning fellow up our way kinda thinks the same way. Find those nodes first, that way we know the barrel will be "closest" to its faverible whip or less aggressive vibration of the tuning folk idea. Then he'd play with the seating depth after. Once it was all said and done on the magic load he'd throw in a few different primers for chits & giggles,,, he said 3 things are going to happen doing this. Your going to get the same results, the group down range will smart'en up or things are going to fall apart. But that's was just his take on finding the magic. My next range day will be 600M with 3 tall targets on the calmest of days and the one where I can relax to get at it. 3 cartrages from middle starting point to max in 0.5 gr spread like you suggested. Target 1, 2, and 3 with the three middle ground loads. Then repeat this with the next and so on up to the point of stick bolt hand lift. Watching primers for sure. I'll you'd mentioned,,, don't worry about the right to left as we are more interested in finding the "Flat" water line as you call it. We do this with our FTR rifles. I do my heavy bore Harvesting rifle the same way. My plan in life it to burn out as many barrels as I can since it falls into the category of "Good Times." Glad to share a small fraction on this as even I am game to learn something new. Old dogs like to bark once in while. LOL Western Canada Don [/QUOTE]
