My thesis is that those loads that shoot high scores would probably do so with a different jump, but would definately do so with a different charge weight.

Its worth mentioning I'm mostly referring to charge weights here.

Again though, regardless of the result the absolute fact remains, due to the random nature of shot placements inside the cone of fire, identifying "nodes" with small data sets of 3 or 5 shots is statistically very unlikely.

I see you are from Tauranga, do you shoot at Tect Park?
