[QUOTE="Ga6570, post: 1617016, member: 108782"] Hopefully this may help those who don’t know this method or those making comments about group size. In my understanding and experience with the Dan Newberry OCW method, you are not necessarily looking for the best group sizes, but are looking for similar point of impact between groups with different “charge weights”. (By doing the round robin shooting you take out the hot barrel factor, because you shoot one from each load before starting again at the beginning...) When this optimum is found, then you can start playing with seating depths to fine tune the group sizes. what the results of the method being done properly leave you with, is the ability to load and not require exact load charges with each pull of the lever but still get the desired level of accuracy from the loads in that rifle. With the very similar consistency in impacts I’m seeing, #1 I can only agree with the suggestion to try it again at 200yds to see if it performs the same again, and #2 to take the very serious analysis previously provided as not just good, but great advice... seems like you are just about there with finding that node. (It just about likes the whole range of loads) Happy shooting! [/QUOTE]
