[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 919257, member: 20643"] I think doing the ladder test at 200 might not be the best idea. 300 minimum. Do it as far out there as you can, results will be easier to see. But based on your results 4 and 5 seem to be a good area to be in. Maybe leave the gun outside for 20 minutes or so before you start shooting also since there is a big extreme from truck to outside at this time of year. I do them at 1000 yards. I will find a load for a new barrel in 15 rounds. For my 284 win I got a 2" group with .8 gr spread in powder at 1000. That was a very easy one to read. I tried the same ladder test in my other gun and it gave me the same results with the same powder charges. Both guns shot the same load equally well. Makes having a backup gun easy since both guns shoot the same ammo. Good luck and let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
