[QUOTE="RichR, post: 1146171, member: 93514"] Guys, I have some observations, possible misinterpretations, and questions regarding Ladder testing vs OCW. Yes, this has been discussed in great detain in other threads, just looking for quick opinions as it applies to this particular precision loading thread for the 6.5 I'd also like to call-out a thank-you to Brent for all his help on this issue with me in PMs! That was/ is my plan, do the vertical stringing testing first, then focus on seating depth to tighten things up. Thanks to Brent for his help with this one! The difference between the Ladder and OCW, it seems to me the only difference is in the format. My understanding is: Stage 1: Both test for the same thing - the node whereby the vertical flight path demonstrates a "grouping" that is consistent and repeatable over varied conditions. Ladder, is a vertical view with 1-3 shots fired for each load value to determine vertical stringing. OCW, is a series of small aim points with 1-5 shots fired at each point to then view vertical stringing by comparing the proximity/ location of each group to each other. To me, it would seem they do the same thing with the same number of shots, but are just being represented by a different format. Ladder more vertical orientation, and OCW arranged more horizontal, to compare the vertical allignments. Hope this makes sense? Stage 2: Testing the Seating depth: Ladder testing would be 1-3 shots fired at each seating depth - These shots fired at the same aim point. OCW testing would be 1-5 shots fired at each seating depth - These shots fired at different aim points to be compared against each other grouping. Seems like Ladder would be simpler/ less confusing to do Round-Robin testing Seems like OCW would be simpler / less confusing to compare grouping results Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
