If the ladder method has any merit then I think my reloading technique needs more consistency. If your familiar with the ladder method I can take a pic of the target.

Since I was on the bench next to you may I suggest something?
You were shooting strings and then using your barrel cooler which is good....expect your rifle has a standard thin profile and the number of shots you were taking between cooldown...........I would suggest just a couple shots in between cooldown sessions........just my opinion. If you were already doing that my apologies. I was paying most attention to myself but it seemed you were taking quite a few shots before letting things cool. If I'm wrong, ignore me.
