[QUOTE="Russ Hatch, post: 290981, member: 12444"] I have a ruger 77R 7mm Mauser that I'm working up loads for. I am using the OCW method of load development. I have sorted the cases by weight, turned the necks to clean them up, uniformed the primer pockets and deburred them inside. The charges are weighed on a beam scale. Cases are trimmed to the same length. Firing three shot groups through a CED 2 Cronograph at 100 yds the two best three shot groups were- Load one Load two Federal brass Federal brass Hornady Amax 162 gr Moly Horady 162 grain Amax Moly Federal 210 M Primer Federal 210 M primer 46.3 gr WW 760 48.1 gr WW 760 average speed 2497 fps 2587 fps ES 4.0 ES 28.0 SD 2.1 SD 14.9 I am going to load up 20 rounds of each of these loads and try them to see which is better.
