[QUOTE="Tensilon, post: 1913398, member: 29503"] Hi, Unless I am not understanding what your pics indicate... it seems you are shooting 3 shots of one charge weight at each target. If that is the case, then you are missing the point of OCW. What you need to do is shoot one shot of each charge weight at all of the different targets... 6 charge weights would mean 6 holes in each target. One from each different charge weight and then determine which different powder loads cluster well together i.e. look for example if 41.6 and 42.0 hit at the same height on the target and generally in the same spot, then you may have found a node that would put the shots into the same spot on the target which is what you are looking for. This would allow you to use a load in that weight range that you could expect to consistently hit to the same spot. If you were off 0.1 or 0.2 grains in weight, it would not matter as that load should still hit to the same area on the target. That is what they mean by an accuracy node. A range of powder weight that generally hits to the same height and spread on the target. Are ya with me on that? Tens [/QUOTE]
