Hi there guys,
I don't want to bother you with long texts (and hopefully question itself, in case my brain doesn't get it and it's something what's obvious in general...)...so I did it this way (hopefully it's not gonna be a bad idea) - the info I think is important is included on the pictures. I do know that my writing is kinda dysgraphic and horrible tho and I apologize for that. I'm a surgeon and it's common issue amongst us, .... anyways, if it isn't readable/understandable in general, I will be more than happy to write everything down here
It's basically the first proper OCW I did for my new Bergaga, I've never been shooting it with factory ammo as it hasn't been available in Czechia since .300 PRC was released to the public. I applied general rules of reloading, load devs. and Berger advices aboout loading VLD pills, and overall procedure/modification of the OCW test itself is as described in this thread (as I reload mainly 6,5 CM) https://www.65creedmoor.com/index.php?topic=6774.0 .
Thoughts, notes, changes - as I told before, I used the main idea and concept, not every single detail which I assumed it's not relevant (Gr increments, number of charge steps etc.), but I'm quite confident I did it right either when planning, reloading and shooting itself,.... Some differences and misc., so you musn't mess with metric vs imperial etc. - barrel cooling after each 7-string of shots (no one minute waiting between shots), shooting (and zeroing) distance 109.3 yards, CBTO 2.89 INCH (0,03' jump),.RS 76 - Reload Swiss 76 - swiss powder, common in europe, and most important - it's on stock all the time at almost every store in our lil country. Closest to H1000 from what I've learnt so far / some say it's just european version of RL25 named differently for US/EU markets, who knows...Last but not least, please be nice about the scope , but tbh it's not temporary or some real money issue thing, these optics just work for me on different rifles and cals.
BUT, to the point again (sorry)....I'd be very glad for any kind of objective and possible explanation for this from you guys, as here are many of pro's and supportive folks. I reload for one year, and neither don't shoot any competitions, or think I'm particularily good shooter, it's just my biggest hobby which I love. Question is - What could be the reason for consistent vertical drop, obvious on targets 2, 3, 4 and 5 of last, third, string (marked on targets). When 1. hit of that string doesn't seem weird and the last, 7. is totally of the chain - here I suppose it's just far from node. Sighter on the top left is due to fact I didn't make enough sighters/foulers I thought I'd have needed. Ofc there is considerable shooter's error, I do know that, but still, I'm not sure how (or if it's possible) to interpret the results. And if yes, how would you proceeed now?
Thanks a lot in advance and take care!
