    Load Development Method N135 and 52 Berger Target 223

    I normally use Dan Newberry’s OCW method and have been happy with the results. I recently tried a test but unfortunately had a 25 mph crosswind and the results were inconclusive. I have read where some advocate picking a charge and varying seating depth to find a load. I think this might be a...
