At what range do you do load development?

[The Oregonian]

Curious what people here have to say. I expect most people will confirm it at longer range, but what range do you do your primary development?

I have easy access to 100, 200, and 300, with access to 600 one night a week.

Thx

I do the preliminary development at 100 yards. Once I've got a good handle on MV, SD, and how the load prints on target, I move out to 300 to fine tune it - usually with seating depth adjustments.
If it's not printing consistently under 2 MOA at 300 I didn't do it right at 100.

I used to do everything at 100 yards because that's all I had to work with.

Now that I've got access to a better range, I do my initial testing at 200 yards and again at 300.

I usually will find a "general " load at 100 then go to 300 and find THE load

200 yards

I do my ladder testing and tuning at 400. I have found that to work best for me. Once I have a load shooting good I will do a few groups at 100 just to see what it will do.

Always at 100 yards, once developed then it is time to move out.

If your shooting clover leafs at 100 yards, is that not good?
