[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 995327, member: 9172"] NO! What you are looking for is bullets traviling at DIFFERENT SPEEDS that cluster together. Lets say that you have 3 diferent loads....50, 50.5, 51....all going different speeds...... that cluster in a little tight group....this will be an accuracy node....a very forgiving "sweet spot" where the barrel harmonics (vibrations) are on a quiet spot and are baisicly the same. You can have a load with a very low ES with nearly IDENTICLE FPS that won't group worth a dam because the bullet is leaving the BBL while the barrel is in the middle of a vibration and the muzzle is moving (vibrating). Now, this is an ulta simple explanation of something fairly complex. As was mentioned earlier.....the further out you shoot the test the better. Also, USE ONE aiming dot...as small as you can to ensure that you are aiming at the EXACT SAME SPOT. I shoot mine at 750 yards....I run two tests......one up and one down in powder charge. I DO NOT look at the tests side by side to see if 50.1 hits next the the earlier tests' 50.1. I want to see if both ladders show the same "NODE". Also, coloring the bullets from the tips to JUST SHY of the ojive, and shooting on white paper, makes identifing the powder charges a snap. Bring some Q-tips and alchahol to make sure..just wet the q-tip and rub the edge of the bullet hole...you'll know. Shoot one test, go and identify the holes with a pen and go back and fire round two Also, I purposely don't hit my aim point...I usually dial 1 or 2 MOA left or right of my aim point. Start the test with a fouled warm bore, and space your shots out , time wise, so you don't get to hot. I try and shoot ladders on calmer days, but it really doesn't matter...you are NOT looking at the horazontal on the target...strictly verticle. You are looking for clusters that group VERTICLY!!!
