[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1909657, member: 54963"] I may be off, but I was under the impression that you should be looking for less vertical spread than 4" at 660 yards while doing a ladder to really be confident that you were in a good 'accuracy node'. Hopefully other with more ladder experience will offer their opinion. Also, while doing load development, I find it better to load 5 rounds at a given charge & seating depth. If I can put 5 rounds inside .5 moa, I have much more confidence in the load vs just 3 rounds. Your 'flyer' may not be a flyer, it may just be part of your group with that load & seating depth. If you shoot 5 rounds, your .75 moa group may end up being 1 moa or larger. FYI, the Berger vld type bullets can be more difficult to dial in. They tend to be less forgiving when it comes to seating depth. I listened to a podcast recently with Berger speaking about the vld vs their hybrid hunter bullets and seating depth. Good luck [/QUOTE]
