[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 783058, member: 10291"] I'm sure approaches vary but I like to initially test my loads at 100 yards, particularly I'm also breaking in the barrel, and, or checking scope alignment/turret accuracy. Once I get things lined up and get a promising load I will move out to 200 yards for fine tuning loads and chronographing. I will then establish actual drop data at the ranges I intend to shoot at. I like 200 yards for fine tuning since it's close enough to minimize wind effects but far enough to better distinguish the precision of my loads, particularly if I'm using VLD's which may need longer range to fully stabilize.
