Need some opinions on my OCW target

[Jwmeador]

I uploaded a picture of the target I shot for a OCW test. I'm having a bit of an issue deciding on where my ideal charge weight would be. I'm shooting 165 Game Kings, IMR 4895, Hornady Sorted brass, federal match primers, Remington LTR 308 rifle. What charge weight would you guys go with?

If this were my test, I'd do another round from 42.8 through 43.4 to confirm there something there between them.

Anywhere from 42.5 to 43.7 show very similar POI. I'd load 10 to 20 rounds from a charge or two in that range and shoot groups. Maybe 43.1 and 43.4 for example, go shoot 15 shot groups of each and see if they are satisfactory for you.

Agreed on the above. And 5 round groups. Too hard to tell if you pulled a shot here or not.

Thanks for the responses. I was thinking about the same. This helps.

I agree with stello1001. And then on to seating depth testing if you would like to reduce the group size.
