I've found the Satterlee Method of limited utility. On new load combinations I usually do a pressure ladder (Satterlee Method) and then five shot ladders to find nodes. Run the Satterlee ladder three times and look at the results, they will often be completely different from a node perspective. On the other hand, the Satterlee Method (pressure ladder) does generally show you where your rifle's pressure ceiling is (not the 6.5 Grendel). Once I have a pressure ceiling I like to shoot groups on poster board in a single row so I can see the rise and fall of the groups in a linear representation (sine wave).
