    Re-25.

    The blue might be OK too and was 140 ft/sec faster, but very few shots so agreed - indicative only. Max is 2-3 grains off the top of the chart.

    Something that interested me was how the the shots between the nodes had spread out along the trend line. The barrel is shooting consistently enough in combination with quite a bit of movement with changes in shot-to-shot variables to see this (if that makes sense). It will be this movement in POI with changes in velocity & barrel time that are reduced by loading at a node giving the tighter groups, allowing reloading tolerances (and powder temp stability etc.) to be relaxed with a reduced impact on accuracy - at least that's my understanding of the theory. And wide nodes allow for the greatest flexibility so are good to have. Anyone got an alternative take on this ?
