    2 OCW. 2 Rifles. 1 Load?

    this is not a large spread of charges like three grains or something else. I'm new to the OCW analysis method so I can only say your 41.9 or 41.8 would be good to try to repeat the accuracy in another session. OCW seems easier to apply in a larger spread of charges.

    Help me build a .30-06 load for this rifle. New to precision hand loading...

    A better rest and larger scope might help here also. There's a bit of shooter variance showing on the targets making stuff harder to see but I see the scatter at 48.7 grains and good group at the high end. I wish I could check my load data quickly on how hot the top end load is.

    OCW results WTF?

    I like what you are getting and would load some more for the next range trip. The next range trip I might also try more with your lower node at your best seating depth. That would be affirming your upper load and maybe getting something from the lower node. You might also go back and see...

    "Cheap" primers

    For an AR in .223/5.5 it's generally recommended you get the Tula 556 small rifle magnum powder. I switched to Wolf primers when they came out and did not try many others in my AR reloading. I ran into problems igniting WC846 surplus ball powder with Wolf SRM and got CCI #34 to cover that. The...
