    First OCW test, your thoughts. Update 2nd OCW

    Re: First OCW test, your thoughts....(pic heavy) Here is the latest, today was windier full value left to right at about 7 MPH. Just like people have said, 45 looks the best. I think I'm going to load 44.8 or 44.7 and start playing with the seating depth. Unless that is someone has any other...

    First OCW test, your thoughts. Update 2nd OCW

    Okay this was my first time trying the OCW meathod for working up a load, I was wondering if I could get a little input on what I'm looking at and where to go from here. I was at an outdoor range, 100 yards, about 7 at night . I had to rush my last two strings of fire because I was running out...

    OCW spreadsheet, Finished in Excel!

    I have been steadily getting more and more involved in reloading over the past six months and have learned a lot of great information form this website.
