So I finally got a chance to go to the range and test my loads for my SPR chambered in 223 Wylde. I ran an OCW test at 100 yards using Lake City brass, CCI BR-4 primers, 77 gr Nosler Custom Competition projectiles and Varget. I loaded them all with a very light crimp using a Lee Factory Crimp Die at an OAL of 2.260".
I wish my results were more conclusive so I'm turning to you guys for some advice/help.
The charge weights and location on the target are as follows:
Top Target (First Picture)
Top left diamond 22.9
Top right diamond 23.2
Center diamond 23.5
Bottom left diamond 23.7
Bottom right diamond 24.0
Bottom Target (Second Picture)
Top left diamond 24.3
Top right diamond 24.6
Ignore the bottom left diamond in the second picture. Those were my fouling shots before I started the test. All shots were fired from a lead sled.
I personally think there is a node between 23.7 gr and 24.3 gr but I really like the grouping of 23.2. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a node there.
Also, what would be my next step? Assuming I find a node, what would I have to do next to shrink my group sizes?
Let me know what you guys think. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
