Ladder Test Analysis

[Howie Feltersnatch]

Wanted to ask you guys for help. Here is the test I ran:

Remy 700 SPS 26" 1-12
168g SMK
IMI Match Brass
IMR 4064
91*
1300
7-10 MPH gusts
Distance: 200yd. 300yd was too hard to see hits. I had no help.
Load Range: 39.8-44.7
Increments were .3 of a grain, which yeilded 17 rounds.

#1 and #2 were shot at 300yd and I determined that it would be too hard to see. It looks like 6,7,8, and 10 grouped really nice. The "U's" were unknowns. Do you guys see anything else or advice on what should happen next?

Below is my best group at 300 (at 1.60 from edge):

I loaded 50 of those rounds at 41.4 which would fall between my #6 and #7 load. Any ideas?

Re: Ladder Test Analysis

I'm not sure about ladder tests, I have never tried one. I do 4-5 shot groups at every .2gr when working up a load so I can't help you on that but I never shoot test loads int he wind, much less gusts. I'm sure a guy can do it but I would rather remove as many factors as possible.
