[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 146478, member: 4885"] [ QUOTE ] I am going to give the ladder test a test. Once the weather around this WC Minnesota lakes country settles down and warms up a tad. The wind has been blowing for three days. Range time soon however. Have a couple guns I need to develop loads for. This will be different than the way I am used to as well. Will post my results later. 1kstr [/ QUOTE ] FWIW, When I am working up a load in windy conditions, I just ignore the horizontal aspect of the target. I measure each shot and its vertical distance from Point of Aim. This eliminates most of the wind effects from the equation and simplifies the analysis of the target. I've found that ignoring the horizontal spread lets me concentrate more on making a good shot than trying to worry about the wind. I always verify the loads in good conditions later anyway.
