[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1633423, member: 34818"] Many people do it many different ways. My way of doing it is do a seating depth test at 100 yards. Find the best seating depth and then do a ladder test with a chrono. Take the results from the ladder test and then fine tune the powder charge from the best results I had with the ladder test. But it is pretty difficult to find any useful information from a ladder test done at 100 yards. At the very minimum, do one at 300 yards If that is as far as you can get. If all you were doing is looking for velocity changes, then you wouldn’t need a target. You could just get down and shoot them into the dirt. You color code them or mark them and take the chrono readings and compare it with the target. [/QUOTE]
