[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 924066, member: 22069"] It all really depends on what works for you and what kind of shooting facilities you have access to. Though I don't disagree with the concept of developing long range loads at longer distances, my own circumstances and abilities make doing so impractical. I don't use the ladder method of load development for the same reasons. I have to drive several hours one way just to get on a range that is longer than 100 yards. If I only did load development at longer distances, I would die of old age before I got anything developed. Because of that, I do my initial workup, tune for seating depth, and tune the powder charge @ 100 yards. When I think I have a good load, I confirm it out to 600 yards when I have the opportunity. I can do this with several rifles in a single trip to the range, which makes more sense for me and my circumstances. There is always a theoretical best way to do things. Unfortunately, most of us are forced to bend to reality when it comes to actually executing an idea. When it comes to methodology, I think it is more important to understand what you are doing, why you are doing it, and the inherent limitations of your method, than it is to follow a certain magic script.
