[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 618056, member: 14894"] I have read your page numerous times and value your opinion greatly. My normal loading procedure is to shoot a couple ladder test 300 and then shoot the same loads in OCW round robin fashion at 100 as you describe on your page. I was trying to save a little time and powder because my first match is not far off and this is a new to me gun. I used your term scatter node incorrectly here as you pointed out, it just seemed that the shots settled into a nice low verticle node about 1% to 2% above the 44.5 which is why I used the term. The day I bought the rifle, the previous owner loaded 5 rounds at the same seating depth at 45.5 grains(his go to 308 load) and shot a 3" group at 600 in a 12 mph cross wind. The group he shot only had .75" of verticle so I new it should be close to a node but since he didn't work it up, I wanted to do some further testing. It appears now that he was at the top end of a node. [/QUOTE]
