[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 104735, member: 4683"] Drew, I'm not an expert by any means but i have did quite alot of reading at Dans site and am a member there. I think the 75gr load is probably the 'low accuracy node'. Was the first group [75.2 gr] on a clean barrel> no fouling shots? My lee manuel shows a load of 79.4gr of rel-22 w/a 165gr bullet @ 3135fps as max load. This is my opinion on OCW > I don't care about the low accuracy node.I'm not trying to reinvent Dans wheel here and in no way mean any disrespect.But i started a couple of grains below max load and worked up from there --not minimum load to max load. I have reloaded for a couple of years now and did alot of reading > most reloading manuals are well on the safe side and w/good reason. I'd start w/less than 7/10th's increments on the developement and try 4/10th's. Start w/78.2 - 78.6 - 79- - 79.4 <[lee's max]-and 79.7or8-if lee's max shows no pressure. If say 79.4gr groups well shoot the 1-79gr and 1-79.4gr and 1-79.8gr to see if your in the middle [OCW]. This is how i preceded w/OCW and it helped me to get there quickly.Mike [/QUOTE]
