[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 803244, member: 22069"] My first attempt at an OCW ladder was a bust in terms of generating useable data. I did, however, learn two things: 1. I need to tweak my benchrest shooting form when shooting a rifle with this level of recoil. I didn't feel like I was getting beaten up and I wasn't flinching, but maintaining good follow through is tricky compared to the lighter caliber of rifles I have shot from the bench in the past. 2. I need to keep an eye on my scope mounts. They worked loose during testing without my realizing what was happening. It was only after testing that I was alerted to the fact that they had worked loose by a telltale rattling noise when I uncased the rifle. Much to my disappointment, I will have to re-group and continue with the experiment another time. I work overseas and won't be home again until the fall. I hope to continue my experiments at that time. If my experiments do show promise, I plan to have a picatinny rail installed in hopes of keeping my scope from working loose under recoil while in the field. If I have learned anything so far, it is that attempting precision shooting with a 375 H&H is a whole new ballgame compared to the lighter caliber rifles I have shot with in the past! It is a new challenge and I like it, but it is shining bright lights on shortcomings in my shooting technique! [/QUOTE]
