    What Load Dev Method would you suggest or process that would work better. I can understand what your saying as it might not be the best. I would prefer to find a load with the least amount of components used if possible just due to components being a bit harder for me to get ahold of now days.

    Newbie trying to find a good load and need some help.

    Testing was done at 100 yards. Length was done at 2.800 COAL. I have not checked CBTO yet. That was on the list to check tonight as I have some factory rounds from Hornady. And with the factory Precision hunter ammo with the 143 Eld-X I have shot 3/4" groups with this rifle multiple times.

    Newbie trying to find a good load and need some help.

    I did shoot the 41.1, 41.2 & 41.3 groups on paper in 5 shot groups. Just didn't take the pictures of the targets yet. None of the 3 really grouped well at all. The 41.1 Group was about 1.75" The 41.2 group was about 4" and in a large vertical string the 41.3 group was about 1.5" group

    I want an accurate load. I was just using the Chrono data as was listed in all the Satterlee method articles and videos I Have watched. Again, I am still new with this and the Load Dev is always what I have struggled with. So I want to learn and find the best way to find an accurate load.
