Bullet Jump: Is Less Always Better?

About 2 years ago, Mark Gordon shared some preliminary research he’d conducted with the Applied Bal...

Sorry if this has been discussed but I found this article very interesting and would like to hear other SH members thoughts on this.

HAH I was literally just reading this. I'm interested to hear some replies as well...

Since I'm limited to indoor ranges nearby (closest outdoor range is 2+ hours away), my biggest question now is can you apply the "Satterlee Method" to seating depth.

Just read the same article as well. I'm very interested. I also cant wait to hear about how other bullets perform.

They pretty much did in that article but i definitely think that it would have to be done at distance.

Yeah they were more focused on actual impact displacement although there might be some correlation to velocity from the looks of their data table ?‍

Interesting.
Explains why my long throat 260 chamber with lots of jump is working.
As well as why my 7 saum jumping 180’s a lot are working.
Both have shown excellent results at a mile+

Yea I kinda wished they would have showed chrono numbers but either way. I guess they used more or a ladder test method but imho that’s all the Satterlee method is just minus the target and strictly looking at the speed.

After re-reading this, I think I'm going to just set my depth at .100" jump and reset it back down after 600 shots or so. I just don't have the time or resources to go full-autistic on both powder charge and seating depth and since "further from the lands" is the most forgiving, it shouldn't matter too much so long as you're not touching the lands. Guess I'll find out in the long run...
