Thread: Frustrating arvo at the range. Powder charges.

Have used the EC method and gotten consistently great results. As others mentioned it makes a lot of sense, the one thing I’d say is you have to be extremely OCD about charge weight. Like single kernel OCD. I’ll use a digital scale to get to my target weight, then confirm on balance beam and weigh it 2-3 times on that to be certain.

Once I’ve got a load in the teens ES wise (typically 10-15 ES) then seating depth test from there.

Have ended up with quarter/half minute groups consistently out of a Ruger American Hunter in 6.5CM shooting prone off a pack, so for me it definitely works.

Have upgraded to a new rifle and will be using the same method to develop a load for it.
