[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1562007, member: 90080"] I would prefer to see the actual target, the shooting conditions, range and time between shots, but that's just me. I have plotted a few, just to see if it worked out the same, but gave that up. I don't use that small of increments in a ladder, usually .5-1.0 grains @400. The fine tuning in .2 gr are done with groups @ 400 and then 6-800. Some shooters use groups at 100, to find a load, and have good luck but it may not hold up at distance. It's one of those things that will finally get you where you want to go, just a different route. 57.6 -57.8 looks nice, but is pretty hot unless you're running a barrel longer than 26". I agree with ShtrRdy, 56.6 -57.2 grs with 5 shot groups for sd & es. Barrel specs would be nice. I do run Retumbo &140 HVLDs in two 26" 6.5-284s. [/QUOTE]
