[QUOTE="dmax1800, post: 883790, member: 68255"] I'm going to be developing loads for 2 rifles in the very near future and for 1 rifle this spring. I'm going to use ladder tests at 200 yards to start with. It's my understanding that I should fire the complete ladder test and wait from 1 to 3 minutes between shots so that the barrel doesn't get too hot. I've done ladder tests in the past and have had trouble with shots overlapping each other, ie not moving continuously up with increasing powder. I would shoot 3 or 4 shots with colored bullet tips and then go identify them on the target. This would let the barrel cool down. I don't have a spotting scope to keep track of each shot and I have a hard time identifying the close shots with my 4.5-14 rifle scope . I'm looking for ideas on how I can identify each different shot. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
