I'm curious what the community at large considers a good number of rounds in a ladder test to develop accurate rounds both hand gun and rifle. I've seen people who said they load as few as 12 rounds which I think is crazy.
My standard hand gun ladder tests consist of 100 rounds, 20 per powder charge and shooting 4 groups. So I can average them out and see which load really shines.
Rifle my bare minimum is 50 across 5 charges, which allows for two five round groups.
My methodology has always produced fantastic loads, even though it's a little more time and resource intensive.
What is your practice? How does it work for you?
