I beg to differ Sir, you are missing the point.
Satterlee and followers believe a ladder of 10 shots over a chronograph is a predictor of consistency. My critical view is that a 10-shot ladder is a consistent predictor of little more than a volume/velocity relationship, which when trended should give a high correlation value (R-squared) approaching 1, unless compressed. But it is certainly not an efficient predictor of results on a target, let alone a consistent one.
Let me run another experiment. I will load and shoot multiple groups at the best 'velocity node' (21.3) and multiple groups at the best 100yd group on the ladder (22.9), and compare whether the velocity node is the better predictor of group size consistency.
