Load development and ladder loading


Boot_Scraper

Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of finding a good load for my PA-10 and I came across THIS article by Sierra. I was under the impression that ladder loading involved starting with a minimum charge and loading a group of 5. Then incrementally working up each batch until you reach the max load. Then I'd shoot each set to see which grouped best. I've had good result but if there's a better way I'm all ears. I never really adjusted COAL, just settled on what was in the manual. I'm lookin to take it to the next level. What's your method of load development? Thanks gents.

I had used a type of Audette ladder system, no chrono so I just went by the nodes that showed on the target;

I recently ran across this info, if I ever get back to reloading I will give it a go;
