When I'm looking for a powder/ bullet combo that my rifle likes I have to figure out how to build my ladder. Generally I keep my ladder in an MTM sliptop 20 round box. Now to have a viable ladder I load 5 'rungs' of 3 rounds each. I also figure that .5 grain increments will give me a rough idea where to focus my attention. Problem is where to start some ladders as load data can show a broad range of powder weights for a given bullet. I usually start somewhere in the middle. Lack of range time and high Temps most definitely restrict my search. Barrel heating and round count through said barrel also affect my choices. How do you all hunt for that perfect load?:
