[QUOTE="seidersjoden, post: 951431, member: 56644"] Alan, Did the ladder test very closely to yours. I messed up a littler by using the same paper for the first two tests and some of the second ladder overlapped on the first..I figured they were afar enough apart but the wind picked up and blew the rounds from the first ladder over into the second. Did the test at 600y. The third ladder I got on video and I used colored markers and got good data but some of the lower charged rounds hit higher than they should of and doesn't make since to me. Plus the mirage was horrible in the san diego desert at 9-12 in the morning. Getting a little discouraged, for me it takes two hours to go to the range. That being said: What do you think about doing the Optimal Charge Weight Test (OCW) Here's a link, you might have seen this method. Basically you shooting round robin like a ladder test but you shoot 1 round of each load at a different target, i.e., load one is shot at tgt 1, load 2 shot at tgt 2.
