[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2741251, member: 1521"] If you're developing what I call a hot barrel load, then you would take a few foulers/warmers to stable before moving to a ladder, and shoot the ladder at a rate that does not increase barrel temps further during the test. This could be 3mins for a small cartridge or 10mins for a larger cartridge. A local matter. I do this to get a hot barrel load for initial precision (grouping). Then I move to cold bore load development for accuracy, with that hot grouping load in center of adjustment. I've never attempted a cold ladder. [/QUOTE]
