    The example from the other thread is a large 7mm. .5gr is smaller than your .3 in a creedmore in percentage terms. When I tried it I used .2 in 222 rem. I’m not saying there is no flat spot but statistically you can’t find it from one shot per charge. Think about the variation you get from one three shot group. It can easily be 30fps. You don’t know if your single shot is the high value low or close to the average. The high from one followed by a low from the next and it will look flat but reverse that and it will show a the opposite. In order for the theory to work every single shot would need to be close to the average. It won’t be so it becomes random.
    But yes by all means we are free to believe in anything we want .or not. If it’s working for you and is repeatable the 👍
