I'm done trying to convince anybody about the Audette. I'm tired.
Try one or more and convince yourself.
Or, use any other method you'd like as many do.
Rick,
WTF? I just closed the bail, tightened the drag and now you off? Musta tied a barbless...
Just kidding.
I've held back my belief that the ladder method has some merit. And your posts have made me think of some changes to the way I work up a load. Thanks for that.
But anecdotal don't equal scientific validation. The way the ladder has been presented has been a problem, not you or anyone else. If I proposed a Ladder-like method at work I'd get laughed outta a job. I ain't kidding, seriously. But I think laddering can be used to good benefit with some tweaks. Like I said before... we may all end up in the same place. Some direct, some scenic, some the long way 'round. But the important part is that everyone gets to the destination.
I hope our different views don't affect future conversations on rifles and shooting as I've enjoyed this discussion. I can't shoot 600y groups like you've posted. And I have no doubt that you have a system that works for you. But when it comes to proving a system/method we need tighter control on variables. Still, I got some ladder ideas I want to try.
This schit is better than a Jerry Lewis Telethon and you poor [bleep] is TRYING your best!
Just Wow +P+!
The Mail done nice thangs today...and after nipping the Anschutz 54 Chronicles tidily,it were time to shift gears. Pun be intended,despite it sailing over all the pointy heads.
She's a [bleep] PEACH. Tweaked the trigger somewhat and I reckon once some of the extry paint wears away...it'll get even better.(grin)
Stumbled onto a couple/few thousand 120's I forgot I had and will keep it "fair",for a spell. Or until tomorrow.(grin)
Laffin'!
'lia,
You try to "tell" folks lotsa schit...but it boils down to your perpetually being in welllllll over your pointy head and tinfoil hat,which do of course bolster the [bleep] humor quotient. Congratulations?!? Fact is,you're doing "great" and I reckon The Paper Hat brigade is plum "proud" to have you and your ladder aboard.
Laffin'!
Weren't but a Post or two ago,that you was gonna take all your marbles and go home,yetcha' remain powerless in the refrain of reiterating what an incredibly slowwwwwwwwww "learner" you are.
Hell...in but justa' 'nother coupla' decades,you and poor poor stupid [bleep] Rost',just might be able to sneak up on your first glass of water. I look forward to those pics and the rollicking verbage,that'll accompany that "highlight" of your collective "prowess".
Don't think I ain't rootin' for you gals,as you set the "bar".
Laffin'!
Wow +P+!!!
G',
Kudos on the windage adjustable rears,cocked striker,rubber snubber covers and compelling plagiarism.
What next??!?? You gonna go Double Burns and fly Tactical Knee Brace Shellholders on both sides of your stock?!?
Add serrations,for the "win".
Laffin'!
You "hard chargers" are a [bleep] riot and the texas version of everything...remains [bleep] hilarious!
Varmint Al is an engineer who loves to shoot rifles. He also love to run very complex tests and experiments with rifles, and accurately measure the findings with computer programs most have no access to.
He didn't invent the Audette and his name has nothing to do with his former occupation.
Read more, assume less.

What happens to the stress wave in a real rifle barrel? Just like in the TV tower guy wire, if a stress wave reaches a mechanical discontinuity in the object it is traveling in, such as the muzzle end of the barrel, or the solidly bedded receiver end of the barrel, it will reflect back in the opposite direction. In steel, the speed of sound is very close to 0.227 inches per microsecond, or about 18916 FPS. A wave will travel from the receiver to the muzzle in the barrel in about 0.12 mS. It can make around 4 or 5 round trips before the bullet leaves. Note that it does not matter how heavy the barrel is, or the profile, as the wave travels at almost exactly the same speed in all cases.

If we assume an 0.85 ms barrel time - in the first metal the sound wave would travel up and down the barrel 8.42 times before the bullet leaves the barrel. In the second barrel material it would do 8.20 trips.
The great thing about the Audette Ladder is that you don't have to think about all of this crap. You just shoot one, look at the target and it tells you what you really need to know.
I believe FEA was like a $20,000 computer program!
There once was this bar with a sign in its window. It read, anyone who can make my horse laugh will have all the drinks they want on the house. So this Texican walks in and asks if he can give it a try. The bartender says sure.
The Texican walks out there and whispers something in the horse�s ear. The horse starts laughing hysterically. The guys walks in and the bartender gives him the drinks. The next night the same guy and the same thing happens.
The third night the sign is changed to making the horse cry. The guy takes the horse and goes out side and a few minutes later he comes back in and the horse is crying.
The bartender says �o.k. you can have your drinks but first tell me what you did to make my horse laugh.�
The Texican said, �I told him my dick was bigger than his.�
