[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1066146, member: 12995"] If it's brand new Nosler brass, all this has already been done for you by Nosler, along with them being weight-sorted... This is what I do. I load up a rough ladder test, spacing them about 1gr apart 5 shots of each powder charge (25 shots total, 5x5), and find me a good idea of where I need to be heading with the other 25 brass on my second ladder test, that I will be doing in ½ grain increments between xxx load and xxx load that produced the best nodes and groups with the rough ladder test. Then once I narrow that down even more, I work up in .1 grain increments to find my max safe load for that rifle, or my best velocity node (whichever comes first), and calculate my results from there.
