    Hey that would be good. I don't know the basics of stats so everything needs explained, but it's proving highly useful each time I grasp a concept.

    I wanted to get the 77s going a bit faster so after a bit of legwork on GRT I determined that I might make 2950 with them (at closer to 60,000 psi than the SAAMI limit of 55,000) so prepared fresh ladders using LVR and 2206H.

    Here is the 2206H Ladder, shot in the S&L (the one above is another 223). The LVR ladder produced more velocity but it simply wasn't a "group", which highlights the instruction to change powders rather that shoot groups of each powder charge.

    That's not a bad group for 5 with velocities from 2804 to 2947. For Christ's sake don't try and copy this load without a careful work up.
