[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2326715, member: 94491"] Initially I do single shot ladder testing ( 1 shot at each ladder step)-- I check velocity and I look for rounds that land in groups. From there I go back and will do a 3 shot group with the velocity I liked that was in a group to see of ot groups well. If it prints well, I will either then try COAL/primer variations, or if it was good enough I'll test again with at least 5 shots to verify in different weather conditions. If it's a hunting load, I will then do 4 shot test groups at distances I intend to hunt with (300,500,700 etc) to check drops You can cut down on some component usage in initial testing depending on the way you test--- but the load should always be verified in multiple weather conditions at multiple distances as far as I'm concerned [/QUOTE]
