Tell me how I screwed up either one so I don't do that again, please.
Ringman, I don't know if you screwed up on your test, but when you ask this question, it shows that you don't understand the purpose of a ladder test:
smokepole,
How 'bout if five shots on a 400 yard target, each with one grain more than the previous shot, make a group 1" high and 2 5/8" wide? Which one is at the top of the node and the other at the bottom of the node?
Five shots with one inch of vertical at 400 is outstanding, they're all in the node, and it makes no difference which round hit highest on the target.
Unless four of the shots were clustered even closer than 1" (1/4 MOA) and one "opened up" the group and began a trend of stringing vertically that was continued by the next shots in the sequence.
Which didn't happen.
