[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 994419, member: 52437"] ok thanks! I just wasnt sure. I am new to these tests. I know some say the ladder test is better as well and I do have a 300 yard range but for what I am looking for I think the OCW test will suffice. Hoping to get decent readable results to find a stable powder charge range, and then be able to mess with bullet seating depths. That is another issue I have is my chamber is so long that being .050 off the lands is almost as far as I can go and have sufficient seating depth (.3 inches with a 30 cal bullet) with the current bullet im using. I have heard say you need around 1 caliber deep...so if using a 30cal bullet you shouldnt seat farther out than around .3 inches. I was thinking of doing the test around there but that doesnt leave much room for adjustment so hopefully I find a decent load in the known charge range. Looking for anything under 1MOA. I know the rifle can do it...it does it with factory corelokts. [/QUOTE]
