Ladder loads are fine, and OCW loads have worked well for me before, but there's something missing. Usually I hit an accuracy node just fine, but it might have wild velocities. The Satterlee load method can help me nail down a consistent velocity, but it doesn't account for the barrel's accuracy node. Time for something a little different.

Eagle Eye (https://www.youtube.com/user/acidia609) is on the right track, simultaneously searching for precision in both placement and velocity. I'm looking for the sweet spot where they overlap. To hedge my bets I'm testing three different bullet seating depths.
