I tried ladder testing once, seemed like a waste of time to me. Really had no idea what I was actually looking for and if I picked the middle shot and loaded up some like that, it wasn't necessarily gonna give me a group I could live with! How if would work on a hand gun, I have no idea. Problem for me is I don't know even one person that could do a ladder test even at 25 yds and get anything good enough to use. Handgun's just aren't all that accurate! I have two 9mm's for carry guns. I've never shot either at more than 10 yds and I've never fired any handgun at target's hoping to find I'm not as poor a shot with a handgun as I think! I'm old now and the eye's really suck sometimes! To remedy that, I taught myself to point and shoot defensive handguns and at 10 yds if the target is the size of a watermelon, it's going down. Could be that the bullet's are to light, not a clue but if I were you. I'd try some heavier bullet's and see what happens.
That you've just started handloading, is handgun's a new area also? I can handle rifle's fine but I leave a lot to be desired with handguns. My DA revolver's I'll plink with out to about 50 yds and actually try to aim. But aiming is a chore and even though, I don't do teat bad, a watermelon at 50yds is in trouble! Maybe your having shooter error? I'm sure there are more trick's to shooting hand guns well that I don't know. The only time I ever would get real serious about handguns is within about 10 yds a a bad guy with an attitude! His chest is bugger than a watermelon!
