[QUOTE="StanB, post: 1418426, member: 35558"] [LEFT][SIZE=14px][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)]I usually have good results on factory rifles tuning at 200 yds, shooting 3-shots groups across the charge weight span, set with minor jump (.015-0.020), then fine tuning seating from there. With some bedding work, can usually sneak up on 1 moa. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT] I appreciate the benefits of the ladder test, but are they a reliable indicator for factory rifles that are decent shooters (let's say ~1 moa with some initial tuning, but definitely not 0.25 moa capable) ?? With a high quality barrel / rifle, the ladder test would save some time & ammo for sure. My thought was that the variance in the placement of individual shots during ladder testing (with factory rifles) would introduce too much variability, due to the inherent group size at any particular charge weight. You could easily re-shoot the exact same ladder 3 times and come to 3 different conclusions. Any thoughts from the group on this one?? [/QUOTE]
