Default 17 Fireball and ladder test and my kids science project

I have been tasked with helping my daughter with her grade 8 science project. Her teacher has suggested doing something with firearms and reloading.

We have discussed doing a ladder test with the 17 Fireball that I just had built. My issue here is I have never done a ladder test. I usually just throw a few loads together and start shooting groups.

I have a few questions. Can I do this experiment without a lead sled? How far should I shoot the ladder test at? I am thinking 200 yards? 100 might not allow me to see the nodes clear enough? Should I use increments of .1 or .2 grains?

I can’t think of anything else right now but these are the basics I have questions to. Thanks.
