[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1492932, member: 88320"] 100 yard testing does and always will have its place. To say its not useful would be incorrect. I have never had a load that had low ES and SD that shot good at 100yds change at distance. When developing loads I shoot my .5 gr increase ladder loads in groups of 3's with targets on same horizontal line at 100 yards to compare nodes. I probably shoot a few more test rounds this way but in one trip to the range I test pressure, nodes, and groups all at the same time. If you don't have a chrono, testing at further distance 300+ will show with vertical spread which usually means your ES and SD are having too much variation. [/QUOTE]
