[QUOTE="BENNYBOOBOO, post: 306476, member: 11190"] Something I've tried with great success when running an OCW test is to actually measure out the group-centers of the various loads, poke a hole in the target, and then plot the individual points on a new target ( I call this the group-center-target). Rather than use identical points, mark each group center with the number 1, 2, 3, etc... This will usually give the shooter a much clearer idea of where the group centers actually plot in relation to each other, yielding a more easily identifiable OCW. If this doesn't give the information you're looking for, try moving back to 200 yards to open up group sized and give group centers a bit more space and variation. Don't forget that when reading the Newberry OCW pages, it is important to initially disregard group size when trying to locate an OCW. This component can later be adjusted by varying seating-depth. Hope this little bit of info helps. Eben [/QUOTE]
