Thread: Best/simplest alternative to a ladder chart?

I follow the sweetspot method and has tweaked it over the years. Currently I do Quick load
.

I load 5 cartridges, head off to the range, shoot them and measure the speed, I then get all the info and supply it to a fella thats a QL genius, pay the $40 and the next day I get a suggested load and speed.

I then start a bit lower than suggested and work my way up to the suggested speed(Normally 3 different loads to test). I do not even worry about groupings, I work toward the speed. Once I get the speed I load 50 and head to the range to tweak seating depth. Sometimes I just take my loading gear to the range, text him the data, pay $50 and get the suggested speed on the spot, then I just load to his speed and I'm done.

Done!

I know a lot of people will go - Why pay $40?? Because driving to the range for a full load development cost me 3 to 3 tomes that. And the fella has proofed himself to be an absolute QL guru. I dont have the time to gain the skills or experience needed to run QL as well as he does. I do own QL and Gordons by the way.
