Finally got the ocw loaded up to fine tuned from my ladder test. Shot these at 200 yards 42.2 would've been one ragged hole but I yanked those 2 shots talk about making you mad. Another reason much prefer shooting prone over a bench.
Ill take it

- Start date
I do not see anything that even remotely resembles an OCW test.
I don't see anything that would convince me any of those powder charge weights are good or bad.

Care to elaborate? This is how I was taught to load shoot a group at each charge weight look for group size. Dad always did it at 100 but this gun shoots 140s too good to that close
Don’t let these thread snipers get you down. If you’re happy and you can see both improvement over time and room for growth, then good on you. Three out of five groups at 200 yards below 1MOA is certainly not amateur level shooting. Allowing for the possibility that some of your group size variability might be factors other than charge weight, I would probably load some up at 42.2 and try some different seating depths. With tuned seating depth, you may find that you have a nice wide accuracy window between 41.8 and 42.3 for example. Good luck.

A comparison of Saterlee's method and Optimal Charge Weight: With data/pictures
So I was always looking to see if there was a direct link between Dan Newberry's OCW and Saterlee 10 shot method, and I have seen a few that put their two cents in. Being a data nut, I spent some time thinking of what controls could validate this information and came up with what I have here...

Gonna load them at mag length and run it. I don't need a .2 inch group to do what I do. @b6graham thanks for posting that I'll watch it later.
As Frank and Mark would say I shot a 3 shot group and 2 shot group at the same poa lol
