[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1691438, member: 110518"] Rocket - Like I said before, this is all new to me. I always loaded different charges and looked for the tightest group. After reading your post I started reading about the OCW test method. That sounds like a pretty sound method of working up a load. The article I read on it the author loaded up 3 rounds each of 5 different charges. But instead of shooting three shots at one target then 3 at another target he had set 5 targets up and fired the rounds in a "round robin" type shooting one shot of each charge at at different target then repeating this 3 times allowing the barrel to cool between each shot. This eliminated the factor of heat build up or fouling in the bore. I believe I MAY just do this instead of the ladder test. Or maybe do this after the ladder test. Its not that I doubt my or my equipment's ability. This just sounds like a better test initially. [/QUOTE]
