[QUOTE="med358-boise, post: 2582773, member: 123832"] Stonyman, The pic was just an example of the process which happened to be for a Mosin Nagant in 7.62x54r. I currently load for: 6.5x55, (2) 7mm-08s, 284 Win, (2) 308 Win, 30-06, 300 WSM, 8.59 Galaxy, 9,3x62. I have in the past also loaded for 270 Win, 300 Hawk, 8x57, 338-06, 35 Rem, 358 Win, 358x57 Imp, 9,3x64, and (2) 375HHmag. For all of the above, I have used the OCW method and to date have always been able to find a sub MOA load, usually between .66 and .875. Having lived in Kalifornia for a good part of my life, I started using Barnes bullets about 20 years ago and have stuck with them. I usually load a couple of "safety" check rounds at minimum and minimum plus 1 grain then start my OCW at ~ the mid point and work up in .4 or .6 grain increments depending on whether the loads are in 40s or 60s grain charge weight. I have also found starting 60/1000 off the lands has consistently been the optimal seating depth. I don't consider myself an accuracy freak, so if I run the OCW protocol as described above and I get a sub .8 group, I generally stop. [/QUOTE]
