[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1716794, member: 10291"] Most all my load development is done at 200 yards. I like this manageable range for minimal environmentals/wind influence with sufficient shot resolution. Accurate chronographing is critical. I’ll generally run a 5-10 shot ladder depending on my particular experience/knowledge of the cartridge/components. I’ll then move to groups/seating depth tests. Once accuracy and ES is optimized, I’ll verify at 500 and 1000 yards. With the exception of the occasional ballistic velocity calibration at 1000 yards, loads developed at 200 yards, will hang together at 1000+ yards. [/QUOTE]
