Thread: Trying something, Eric Cortina method of load development

It's a very clear way to approach load development.

One thing I would say when doing your seating depth test is to remember an important piece of context of his videos: he's shooting Bergers. He's also an extremely good F-Class shooter so the nut behind the butt isn't introducing much noise / human error into the equation.

The VLD's are notoriously fussy over seating depth and a few thou one way or the other is important. I think the less aggressive the ogive, the more tangent and less secant the bullet, the more forgiving on seating depth, and the more coarse you need to go in your adjustments to notice a difference.

So I'm watching with interest. My prediction is you aren't going to see a huge difference in your seating depth test, with such fine adjustments on a non-VLD bullet, and it'll be hard to spot a clear winner when factoring in any human error too.
