[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 146427, member: 4885"] It works for some and it doesn't work for others. You will find those that vehemently disagree with the approach. I personally have had good luck with it. I think it boils down to your particular situation. I don't think running a ladder test with mixed brass at short range will do anything but get your barrel dirty. On the other hand, my personal opinion is that if you use consistent high quality brass and shoot at a long enough range (shooting over a chronograph), you can learn a lot. I like to graph the velocities as well as the vertical spreads for my ladder tests. When I see a point where the vertical spreads and velocity spreads coincide, I will then look around there for my load. Your mileage may vary. Search for Ladder in the subject over the last few months and you will find several posts on the subject. Don [/QUOTE]
