I would like to gather results/opinions about the Scott Satterlee 10 Rd load development as explained here:
I will give this a try when the weather permits, testing it against a known accurate load found the old fashion way, starting at a published low start and working up in .3 grains, 5 rounds each.
A synopsis from the vid:
1. Reference a reloading handbook to find a safe starting load
2. Load 10 cartridges for ladder test, 1st cartridge is starting load, move up in .2 or .3 grain increments
3. Shoot and chronograph each test load
4. Analyze chronograph results, identify loads with little change in velocity
5. Load more cartridges at accuracy nodes
6. Fire, chronograph and analyze accuracy node test loads
7. Load and conduct field test, load final test cartridges and test for accuracy/consistency at distance. (5 shots. If not grouping well change seating depth)
Klem has a great post about this that points out many of the things that concern me as well.
