first ocw test, comments please

[cobyb]

so this is my ocw test, im not real sure where to go from here. it looks like groups 2 and 3 or kind of what im looking for. when I went to pull the target, groups 2 4 and 6 only showed 2 holes, so I had an extra for each charge and took another shot at those targets. 2 of them looked like 2 shots went through the same hole but couldn't tell for sure, I just took another shot. the rifle is a rem 700 with a new benchmark barrel chambered in .308

thanks coby

I'll try and read the targets as if you didn't tell me about 2,4, and 6 having 4 holes . . . or not having 4 holes

Arguably your worst groups are 1 and 5 and their charge weights are ~3% apart. Scatter groups are normally ~3% apart with OCW nodes in between. Targets 2 & 3 have very common POIs, and Target 3 is at 44.1gr where the "scatter groups" predict. I'd focus in on that area, maybe 43.6-44.2 in 0.2gr incements, expecting 44.0gr to be a good final load.

Good shooting . . . well, except for those missing bullets . . . or maybe with those missing bullets lol.

I agree... probably you'll end up at around 44.0 grains.
