Load Development Test Made Easy!

[@ErikCortina]

And to think you were a land chaser when I met you. 😂 That load is gonna kick some butt John! Good job. One small edit to my method. I don’t wait until accuracy falls off to move. I often test 0.003” and 0.006” forward of my current seating depth to see if my node has moved forward. If it has, I change seating depth. Goal is to never fall out of the node.

[@FClassJohn]

Thanks Erik and I always appreciate the help and constructive criticism, it’s how I (we) get better.

[@o2wow]

[@Strelnikov10]

Quick stats note: While you would expect ES to increase with an increase in sample size, that relationship is not linear, it's logarithmic. In other words, diminishing returns as you increase sample size. Regarding SD, you would actually expect SD, all things being equal, to become smaller as sample size increases. As your sample size increases, the distribution of scores aggregates more tightly around the mean. All of this, of course, is assuming a normal distribution. Given the dynamics of load data, we can safely assume a normal distribution of velocities. I'm a statistician and I'm thinking of uploading a "Stats Class for Shooters" course. Polling for interest... does that sound like something you would watch? Please respond either way.

Great video John and a fantastic example of the accuracy required to perform at the top level of the sport. 1/3 to 1/4 moa elevation,, consistently. It's not bragging, it's necessary. At the 2017 WCs with with over 3500 points on the card the difference between winners and 1st losers was a whopping 5 points, 0.14% In FTR it was 3400 vs 3394, 6 points, all credit to Bryan for waiting.

Very thorough video and explanation, nice job John.

[@johnswinkels4383]

Back in the waggon wheel days like 40-50 years ago the general consensus was to seat the projectile until it just touched the lands so I guess there is no bullet jump. The only downside is if you are using a high power there is no margin for error and pressure can escalate quite rapidly. I know that one of the reasons Sako idiot-proof their firearms is by machining the lands deeper in the barrel so magazine length does not allow you to do this.

Great no-nonsense method. Also cool to see how seating depth had minimal to no effect on velocity and SD.

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you and you’re correct, seating depth has virtually zero if any effect on speed. It won’t unless you shoot some that jump and some that jam. Then you’ll see a slight variance in most cases.

[@oif3vetk9]

Always fun watching vids like yours and Erik's but us gas gun PRS guys live in a totally different world when it comes to handloading. Magazine length is real. lol I can get single digit sd's and low teen es but there is no starting that close to the lands and grooves. (At least with a manufactured barrel from say aero precision) It's all good though. That's just a thing you accept when you decide to take the gas gun path.

[@Music-kz9ol]

Be careful of getting too close to the lands if you are going for velocity closer to lands equals higher pressure. Look at Roy Weatherby’s data, he loaded max powder and had the bullets .02 to .03 off the lands in order to reduce pressures, new bullet design negate seating depth issues. How close are your loads to max powder?

@@FClassJohn Thanks F-C J, that gives me a place to start. The Harrel moves up the barrel instead of adding weight forward but the concept should still apply. Will know more on Friday. Always looking forward to your next video.

[@daviddale3624]

Eric says: "chasing the lands is stupid". Well, it appears that you documented a 27 thou range where the load you developed performs best. As barrel erosion is linear, I think you may accurately predict where the "jump" will exceed your 27 thou baseline. OLD TIMERS used to maintain the jump and modify the charge until two grains of powder would no longer maintain the target velocity.Yep, the OAL got longer.

[@gunsmithy6188]

Fairly new to reloading and I do follow Eric’s videos but what I’m not understanding is the powder charge node. All I’ve done so far is chrono at jam minus 20 So if I want a round going let’s say 3000fps load for that speed at jam -20 then do seating depth test to tune it for accuracy. I’ve had great success with one load but I think I might just be lucky

[@ReloadingQuest]

[@SuperOpinion8ed]

Thanks for the vid. Getting good info. One thing I see a lot and hate seeing is a lack of admission on the human factor. For example, you said “I take the data as data”. I’ve seen very low level shooters make assumptions about nodes based on three shot groups. They do 40.0, 40.3, and 40.6 gr (plus a lot more of course) and those three groups are 1.2, .264, .900. They assume the .264 is the node. No, if you’re groups look like that you got lucky on that group. Either you can’t shoot or your gun isn’t good enough. But the point is they assume everything is perfect snd therefore the data is pure. Obviously you’re experienced and are an accomplished shooter with high quality equipment. But on that group that wasn’t touching, is it possible the shooter cause the issue? I’m very humble and always try to call where I was aimed when the shot broke. At sub 1/4 that might be harder (I don’t shoot f class) but maybe that open group was actually your best consistency to mean the bullet hit exactly where you aimed each time and you put the 1/4” into the group. Great job regardless and I’m always a student. But my suggestion isn’t to round off the edges for bragging, but also don’t assume the data is 100% representative of the variable you’re changing. Mathematically we like to think everything is constant but seating depth but in reality it’s not. On a side note, I bought a neck sizing die and was planning on using it until I watched Eric’s vid about all the f class guys fl sizing. Guess it’ll stay in the box.

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you and you’re correct. There’s always a time to trust the target and a time to know you may have Influenced it. Shoot enough and you’ll know the difference. That’s also why we test and test and test to replicate results. You can rarely take a single result and trust it.

[@fasteddie4107]

Great stuff! Thank you.

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you.

[@hrbricker]

See in believing, (I Think). I was surprised to see from your tests, that seating has so little effect on Velocity. I am an electronics technician with lots of familiarity with resonance. Thus I am vitally interested in factors which affect the exact position of a bullet with respect to resonance at the point of exit. I had thought that seating had a dramatic effect on pressure and thus velocity, but your tests seem to refute that premise. More thoughts later if I can find a way to make it sound sensible. Much obliged for your presentation

[@FClassJohn]

Yeah it’s very common to see no real velocity variance once you’re in the node. Of course there’s other factors like good brass prep that can have a big effect on velocity no matter how you’re testing so it’s important to have those pieces in place first.

[@madaxe79]

Almost speechless, the information you presented and the way you presented it is exceptional. I have been doing similar development with powder charges for a few years, but never thought to do it with jump (and I have no idea why). The idea of staying a the front of the bracket makes total sense. I do have one question. Your sweet spot is at the very back of your test range so why would you not keep going to find out just how long that sweet spot might be?

[@FClassJohn]

Thank you for the kind words. As for the sweet spot, I could keep going but I’ve never really found much use in doing that and it can lead to a lot of waste barrel life and components. Sometimes less is more.

[@MrT13]

Man if there ever was a textbook video made on how to tune depth I’d say this is it. I don’t shoot as fast but hey. Find powder. Find jam. Back off. Find .009-.01 range. Maybe go .002 for .012 done. I dunno if you’ll see this comment or whatever but if you do just curious is anybody tuning in mid weather / elevation then making high and low sets of seating depths to compensate for slower faster bullet speeds? To try and keep gun run able and tuned if say you shoot in cold weather or high/hot elevation? Example is if you tune at mid temp sea level and go to higher elevation equals faster FPS or cold temp slower your still within your guns .009-.01 node.

[@FClassJohn]

First off, thank you for the kind words. As to your question, it’s been my experience that if you have a load that is truly tuned then it remains pretty darn stable across most ramps and elevation (although you do have to adjust you dope for elevation no matter what). I know some guys who try to load to the temp they’re going to shoot at but a lot high level guys I know simply dial a load and take it to a match. Of course that’s why some use tuners too, as an emergency tool.

[@MrT13]

@@FClassJohn right with a tuner I suppose you wouldn’t need to go to one end or the other of a range just rebalance on the fly. Just was curious if that was still a thing I guess. Used to find 9-10 then if I was close to home stick to middle but if shot in colder I’d know timing would be slower so I move to longest of range depth to try and stay in timing. Or hotter shorter etc. seems I got caught less with my pants down if you will. Love the content, interesting to see all the new turners gadgets etc. especially tuners. Great idea. Vibration tuning on the fly. Those are fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻

[@georgeholt8929]

Please, can you allow the viewers to see the fired cases primer impact with the firing pin, while we equate your seating depth? How much jump to the lands may have an affect on group size, it also has an affect on chamber pressure and those differences can be seen in the impact mark left by the firing pin on the primer.

[@FClassJohn]

I try next time but you won’t see anything. There’s so little variance in pressure across my seating depth test that they’ll all look the same.

Well here's the thing. I'm a big fan of loading for vertical but there's always a horizontal component to the load as well and while it might be a minor concern compared to the vertical I'll always take a more well rounded group over a super wide and flat one. But that's been a slow change for me to make and has taken some time to come around to.

My Model 70 hunting rifle that I bought 40 years ago was interesting. I scoped it for giggles when I got my borescope only to find 40 years of copper choking the bore. I did a video on the barrel and cleaning since this barrel had never seen copper solvent. I got a lot of flak from folks telling me how I had ruined the accuracy or wasted my time. Never mind this barrel was so choked it was causing accuracy issues and needed the copper cleaned out. My competition pistols get cleaned about every 1K rounds (a match weekend and practice).

@John Beige I gwt that part but why not resize and de-prime at the same time then clean the PP. I was just wondering because I see a lot of guys deprime before they reaize. just trying to see if there is a reason or just personal preference. Thank you John.

John, the numbers written on the targets, like 46… is that thousandths off the lands ? What do you do when you have no good consecutive groups before or after a good one? Lol 😂 get a better barrel? Maybe i need some Lapua brass, im using Hornady brass with who knows how many firings on it….
