[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1647534, member: 101859"] Ladders can be tough with sporter barrels. You just cant put a lot of rounds down them quickly with out them getting too hot. I do a 3 shot ladder, witch is just 3 shot groups all at the same poa. 3 shot group, cool, 3 shot group, cool, ext. The reason is your getting data from the groups as well as how they plot on paper with is possibly more important. I do them at the farther distance I want to shoot the rifle, usually at 1k. Your load will become a lot more obvious at 1k than at mid range. But one thing that most rifles do (when increasing powder charge) right after they shoot their smallest group is shoot a big one, usually with a large change in poi. 6 is the big one and it moved a lot...
