[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 185728, member: 2852"] VH, I take it for more than two cents. Your post is invaluable! The problem (at least the biggest problem) with ladder tests is the variables induced into the load development that can interfere with data. In load develolopment, you should be trying to find the INTERIOR ballistics, not worry so much about combining EXTERIOR with interior for the time being. For those fans of the ladder who think they are doing a ladder in calm conditions for 400 yards; you might see what's wrong with this method if you came out and used my windflags on the flat, open, desert floor here. Even when you think it's calm, one glance at the flags and you can see it's not! So there could be easily 8 or 9 bullet width's of condition in your "calm" condition. You might toss out a load that actually would work great or vice versa. [/QUOTE]
