[QUOTE="lightshooter, post: 1888558, member: 96114"] I’m not an expert on the ladder method, but it’s my understanding that you should be looking at the vertical and not the horizontal dispersion, i.e. the waterline. In which case there’s a lot of the loads fit into a waterline on the OP’s target. There are serval loads creating a good group and even 2 touching in the 75-76 so it’s easy to get swayed in that direction. So IMO the paper does lie, because of bias to groups and if your marksmanship skills are lacking. IMO the numbers don’t lie as long as you can consistently reload and you have a magnetospeed or labradar or some other trustworthy chronograph. Don’t get me wrong I have faith in the ladder method and I believe it works, but if I came home with that target, I’d view it as inconclusive. So I guess one could ask themself what do they have more faith in, their reloading skills or their marksmanship skills and choose the their preferred method. [/QUOTE]
