Its the exact same thing with a different datum point.

Hey absolutely agree with you as stated earlier I don't think a lot of this is ground breaking or innovative, just the way it is explained and how the relationship of different aspects effects results and the methodical approach to finding a consistent charge weight first all just made sense to me.
I've had plenty of experts try and explain seating depth and charge weight variables to me and always ended up feeling bamboozled.
Cortina's way of explaining all this and showing results just clicked with my style of learning. We'll soon see if I can make it work, or not either way I'll post my results
