[QUOTE="ericbc7, post: 1939872, member: 79488"] I have commented on ladder tests in the past and I frankly hate em. So you know where I’m coming from. There are so many vagaries (wind, mirage etc) with a ladder test that I hate to place a lot of weight on them. You can get the same/better info with a chronograph and more reliably. In a perfect ladder test you are measuring velocity and nothing else. Similar bullets of similar velocity will group together...unless you flinch, pull a bad one, mirage tricks you etc. you basically have a series of one shot “groups”. No value for deciding loads. just load a series of incremental loads and track the velocity. Find the nodes and proceed. my 2 cents -Eric [/QUOTE]
