[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1597461, member: 104363"] So I tried the OCW test with RE22 and RE23. While RE22 had clear flat spots (sills?) at 60 to 61 and 62 to 62.5 grains, RE23 was just a steady velocity increase at each sample weight of powder. What to do? I just had to go to the range and shot 2 foulers, 3 shots at 62.2 , then 3 shots at 63.2. Max charge I called at 63.8 gr, which was the RE22 value from Nosler, as I had no actual load data from Nosler using RE23. Admittedly, I need to go back and finish the load workup so this is preliminary. I think OCW has merit as it does limit excess shooting if you know how to read the results. Can't say I do, as this was my first crack at it. [/QUOTE]
