I went out and did an OCW test a week and a half ago and think I know what I'm looking at, but am always interested in getting feedback.
I shot a string with Varget and a string with IMR 4064. All shots were using factory 2nds SMK 175gr @ 100 yds.
There are a few targets where I had two touching and blew the third shot, so I fired a 4th round into those targets to see if it was me who pulled the shot, or if that charge was a dud. That's why you'll see a couple of targets with 4 rounds in them as opposed to three. I'm happy to say that the majority of the time my 4th shot grouped tight with the first two, thereby making me believe I indeed pulled said shot.
On the groups with 4 shots, I posted the group size for the 4 shots as well as the group size for the three that grouped together. It is my belief that I pulled the one shot since the 4th round cut in with the first two.
I shot another target to verify grouping of a pet load of mine as well the same day (43.0gr IMR 4064 same brass, bullets and same primer). I know it's not a 5 shot group but I was still happy none the less with it's performance.
