[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1077016, member: 52437"] I actually agree. Unfortunately, with the load work up I tried, I did not find much of an OCW charge zone in the lower spectrum. Actually, those zones were pretty horrid for accuracy. This is a modern rem 700 bought new 3 years ago. I am using up the remainder IMR4064 (which is not a desirable powder for 180s). There was ~.6lbs left on my shelf and other powders were scarce near me so I decided to run an OCW and use the remainder powder for the last 35 shots. These 35 rounds will likely last me 5 years for hunting season (if not longer). This rifle goes max 400 yards, and is my woods walking gun. It is not a range gun. I basically go to the range with this rifle and verify zero has not changed before hunting season while putting some foulers through. So basically I shoot 3 shots prior to hunting season and unless I miss my deer, I will likely only shoot it once during the season. So 4 shots a year minimum. After I use up these 35 rounds, I will run a new OCW with a more appropriate powder/bullet combo. [/QUOTE]
