Rifle load development: 100 yards for load development, then 300 for verifying the load that worked best at 100.

Handgun load: 50 yards, since this is the maximum distance I compete at, my handgun ammo has to be accurate at 50 yards, then the closer I get to the target, the smaller the groups (usually!).

Hope that helps!

Cheers!
