[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 147324, member: 4686"] GG, If you have a copy of Glen Zediker's book, "Handloading for Competition - making the target bigger", on pg. 372, you should see a picture of what, I believe, you are describing. It is an Audette ladder method but uses 5-shot groups vs your 3-shot and our 1-shot groups. Your "group shape" theory makes perfect sense to me and I feel that I totally agree with what you are doing. Alas, it does take a few more rounds to wring out the ES/SD info but it a necessity as it is when only using 1-shot ladders. I'd say the only difference is the 3 to 5 shot ladders are looking for ES/SD/group shape at the same time, where as the 1-shot ladders look for it after the initial ladder. Does that make sense? I'd often thought of trying the method described in Zediker's book but hesitated due to the extra expediture of components and barrel life. Now that I see the value of it, I think I might start utilizing it. [/QUOTE]
