[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1474697, member: 41338"] IMO, that's not a ladder test. A ladder test in on paper, preferably at 500 to 600 yards with 3 shots of same charge weight in increasing increments. What the OP is doing is looking for low extreme spread which often times, coincidentally, coincides with being the most accurate load. This may or may not be an effective way of finding a load but it needs further testing to be confirmed. Personally, I prefer the load increments to be .2 grains for this test so I'm more apt to identify 3 loads that are close together. The third, hopefully confirming the first two and possibly a forth confirming the first three. I'd be more inclined to shoot the same day and in reverse. [/QUOTE]
