Ladder test

[liltank]

Need help with doing a ladder test for the first time. What do makes of these photos. I'm seeing a definite node between 45.0-45.4

Shot at 200yds.

400 yds works better. Not so clustered together and gives you a true ladder. It should stagger back and forth and climb up the paper until two or three shots come together then keep climbing once it leaves the node.
44.7 or 45.2 could be nodes based on chrony readings. Myself I would repeat the test at a farther distance and hopefully it correlates with what you discovered

I agree with can hunter. I usually do all load development at minimum 300yrds. Looks like you might have been approaching a node.
