Interesting OCW Results

[Warbone]

Took all the shots and plotted them on one sheet of paper color coded.
Amazingly all shots from 42.7 to 43.9 came in under a inch.
New shilen barrel i installed on a savage action.
Im thinking either 43.2 or 43.6
Hope the pic is visable enough on the post.

Havent gotten a chance to get to the range to verify either 43.2 or 43.6.
Anyone with input on my thinking of where the node is?
Thanks

How far off are you seating? I would try .2 and .6 at a different seating depth and 5 shot groups. From looking at what you have the slight variations could be shooter induced. Hard to tell with only 3 shot groups and all of them being so close.

If it was mine, I'd go back with a 5 shot at 43.5.

I would think 43.0-43.2 . It tough as I'm not used to having all the clutter. Plotting all the rounds I don't think helps. If you believe in OCW and dans philosophy then your next node would be 3%+ at 44.5. I have found Erik Cortinas method works better for me these Dans. I use .5 increments. I seems more apparent were the nodes are. In your test you could have 3-4 loads in the "window". Dan says nodes are 3% apart and scatter nodes are 1.5% different or in the middle. If I think I have a node I load up 5rd group +/-.1
And then one group at 1.5% +\- So if your node is 43.2 then the scatter node should be at around 42.5 "lower" or 43.8
"higher". So in theory I use the scatter to verify the node.
