RL26 143Eld-x OCW help

[CDeiser]

Some load work I shot the other day that I don’t really know what to do with. I wanted to try some RL26 with the 143’s. Its been a while since I’ve been to the range and I was struggling a little bit. Any input on the OCW is appreciated. I’d like to do a seating depth test but don’t know where to start. All the flyers are legit pulled shots I walked down and marked after each one I pulled. Don’t give too much crap about the groups this is a sporter weight barrel! Haha!

I say load up some more of the 46.3 gr load and see if you can repeat the test group size. If so, load it and shoot it!

I like the group at 46.3 but its kind of on its own as far as point of impact. Im trying to go by OCW rules to find a good stable accuracy node. Ive already loaded up 15 rounds of 46.3 just to see if it was a fluke. But id like to find a more stable POI node

I agree.
The SD and ES favor that also if it's repeated.

The 47.5 may have potential if the 46.3 doesn't work out.

Pretty similar POI from 47.2 to 47.5. How does that fit in the case? What length is your barrel?

With that OAL there is still room in the case for a little more powder. It’s a 24” barrel
