Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Chrono, Yes or No

Dave, I do what I call 'ladder' tests of velocity when I'm working up a new load or for a NEW rifle. I always start low and load UP to what I 'expect' to be max >>>then I load a couple/three more IN CASE my data is off. It's NO problem to pull bullets of rounds that are 'above' where I stop.

EACH step up has 2-3 rounds ready to check, first for ANY sign of pressure, then to compare velocity. It's always best to STOP in the bracket velocity known for the cartridge.

Some graph while shooting groups. If it works great, I always thot it too complicated for me and my set up.

Good Luck

Jerry
