[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 974608, member: 10391"] Here is how I do a ladder (it's referred to as a ladder not latter test) Once I know the rifles max load with whatever bullet case and primer I go back down a couple grains or three depending on the velocity I want (hunting load) to maintain and load in 1/2gr increments back up to max. I shoot this set at 335 ( the only place on the hill side to install the target) yards using the exact same aim point. While letting the barrel cool between shots I run down with the quad and mark the impact of that shot with notes. The farther out you shoot the more dispersed the impacts will be and a lot easier to determine a node if one is to be found. There is a lot of things going on such as the bullet seating dept. Some like to get this worked out before the powder. I've tried it both ways and am still scratching my head. Just keep fooling with it and you will figure out what works for you but get the target out to at least 300 yards...good luck. [/QUOTE]
