Ladder Test advice on 20 practical

[chesty for president]

I built a 20 Practical on a Savage 110 with a Criterion Barrel. At 100 yards this rifle with 25.8 grains of Varget and 32 grain ZMAX bullets will easily make 1 hole and not even a ragged hole, well maybe very slightly ragged. Anyway for me its a really good shooting rifle I finally found a good load for. I will admit I never did the Ladder Test before but will soon start using it when I complete my 7MM SAUM. If my 20 Pracical will shoot great at 100 yards do I still need to do the Ladder Test or will the 100 yard accuracy carry over to ranges beyond 100 yards.


Very Respecfully Submitted

I would say that your accuracy @ 100 yards will be fine, as for the Rsaum, a ladder test at at least 300 yards should be done.

No offense to Froggy, but I'd say the proof is on the target. Try the .20 at the distances you're interested in and judge the results for yourself.
