[QUOTE="jonnybullslayer, post: 1195036, member: 39229"] Thanks Steve. This is my first foray into the long range game and I REALLY wanted to do the ladder test at 400 yards as I've read that shooting too close can give inconclusive results. But I was having trouble with my chrono, so I went to the range with a veteran shooter friend who insisted we shoot at 100. We were using his chrony and he will be helping me with my shooting out to longer ranges, so I didn't argue. We are supposed to zero today then shoot out to 550. Next weekend we will shoot 800 to true our velocities, then shoot for 1000. I guess I'll just load up some 94 grain rounds and see what happens. Logic would say that the best group at 100 would be the one to go with, but I've heard that these bullets don't "settle down" until further out. In your experience, have the loads producing better groups at 100 been the same ones producing better groups at further distances? Jonathan [/QUOTE]
