[QUOTE="Bob2650, post: 1954883, member: 112280"] The ladder test is for finding a load that is more tolerant of those minor variations. Without the ladder test it would be much more difficult to interpret the meaning of SD numbers from the chronograph. As we are pushing the limits of sanity with seriously LONGrange hunting many of the BR competition brass prep and loading tricks can be useful but in the field the wind, accurately measured distance, altitude density, your position, trigger pull and at least a dozen other variables will obscure the effects of any SD improvements beyond a reasonable level. I am not saying you should not work for the best SD you can get, which can be very rewarding in its own perfectionist kind of good way, just suggesting there may be better areas for accuracy improvement for a given level of spending the all mighty dollar which for most of us, is the primary limiting factor and wildest variable. I bet everyone here already knows this, just playing the role of Captain Obvious with a reality check. The low hanging fruit can be surprisingly good stuff! [/QUOTE]
