Ok so I think I have some results from my last OCW for my 600 to 1,000 yard 175 SMK load.
Question is at what range should I test the window of charge weights in my suspected load?
I'm thinking maybe 300 yards? 200? I cant make up my mind whats a good distance to show enough evidence on how each load will preform at 500 - 1,000 yards.
But not go too far out where my shooting limit or elements will be too great and alter results.
What do you guys do or think is a good range to confirm nodes for a 1K load?
