[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1692194, member: 110518"] You guys are getting too hung up on group size. Please do some research on Optimal Charge Weight (OCW). I used to do the same thing. This changes my whole prospective on load development. Yes, that group is perfectly fine for 100, even 200 yards. But at 300 and beyond you may be missing a whole bunch. And Moose as far as cratered primers being a pressure indication, its usually not. Any slop in the bolt face and firing pin will cause a primer to look cratered. You saw the earlier post. Those cases you showed DO NOT show any signs of excessive pressure. Instead of wasting your time and money shooting and looking for the smallest group, I urge you to look at the link I posted earlier regarding Dan Newberry's method of getting your optimum charge weight. Then I hope, like me, you will see the light. [/QUOTE]
