Data Driven Reloading course.

[L.Parratt]

Came accross this very nice and indepth "course". about reloading in regards to actual relevant statistics. Figured id share for the CGN Hivemind.

They also have a very handy group size simulator that helps get the "low sample size data is bad" point across a little.

Hornady covers this in their podcasts very well, with a bit of self promotion.

This looks really promising! This guide's approach reminds me a lot of the precision rifle load development video series by Tim at Little Crow Gunworks, which, up until recently, was available on Youtube. They're now on Patreon under Ethical Hunting Accuracy.

Seems like while one's focus is on years and years of long-distance precision rifle shooting experience (and gunsmithing expertise), the other focuses on a strong theoretical foundation of population sampling, the importance of statistical significance when drawing conclusions, and shooting experience. Despite the difference in focus, there seems to be a lot of crossover between the two, which is interesting (importance of larger group sizes in certain contexts, the potential shortfalls with a 10-shot ladder, etc.).

I'd be interested in what what others think about Reeve's course and approach, especially those who have been load developing/competing for a while (unlike me ).

Thanks for sharing L.Parratt!
