How to chart load development results

[Lillico]

The spread between a few similar loads is extreme. Doesn't make sense.

The spreadsheet was not an example of how well my loads are doing, they are to show how to record velocities, group placement in relation to other loads and group sizes. Showing how small my groups are doesn't help anyone, but to keep you happy, here are three shots from my Sako at 100 metres.

It's not that complicated. It either shoots small groups or it doesn't. Top shooters only look at targets.

^^^^^^^^^^^ I saw a younger guy show up at the range with a bunch of index cards with a load writen on them and a small red dot. He would staple a bunch of them to the target backer, look through the scope and read the first load and grab the baggie that had that recipe on it. When he was done he had all he needed, and stapled them to a page in his load book.

The only thing that works out for me is shooting damn near every combination of charge and seating depth. Calling it the **** around and find out method. The more you #### around... the more you find out. That said, if you don't %%%% around you'll never find out.
