    First ladder test. Looking for suggestions.

    Wow that's a ton of holes for a ladder test. When I do a ladder test I load one round starting at my start load and steps in .5gr up to my max.

From all my past reloading with pistols for accuracy I found that if I could use a standard primer over a mag primer I could count on about half the group size.
