Thread: Load development / Ladder test

Thanks for posting that up.

I did the round-robin version yesterday after my daughter knocked my scales off the bench (smashed them pretty bad!!!) so I ended up getting a new set of scales and then I realised that my old scales although very repeatable, weren't 100% accurate...so my load data was only true to those scales grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, long story short I didn't have any loaded ammo that I could pull, no that would be too easy, so I had to start again! After a quick ladder test doing the round-robin shooting style had it punching .47'' groups again. It’s a No5 Trueflite barrel and is very fussy (short accuracy nodes) so you certainly know when you’re in a ‘’sweet spot’’ with this barrel. Unlike the The much heavier Sendero profiled barrel I got off Abe that will only shoot 0.5MOA no matter what you feed it...I guess it shows how a bit of meat in the barrel can hide a few sins when it comes to reloading eh?

My new attitude is to quit while ahead, so I'm happy to settle for 0.5MOA and not chase rainbows so to say. All that does is burn out barrels.
