I have pretty much settled on 200 is where I will do my initial ladders, then tune the results at 600 before heading to 800. As you said I am lucky to have access to that range, it wasn't that long ago where I considered 200 yards a luxury.
Exactly. Even at 200 yards most people can impart different effects on the gun enough to cause a flyer and not realize it. If a person is going to load test at long distances then you better be a dang good bench rest shooter.
