[QUOTE="E Rock, post: 1522082, member: 15581"] well thats the thing, I only shot 1 group of each round. wanted to be fairly conservative on how many loads I had. Didn't want to take 100 rounds and have to come back home and take half of them apart. the good thing is I got to shoot everything i took, but didn't really gain much info from it. I was trying to follow the "optimal charge weight" procedure ( [url]http://optimalchargeweight.embarqspace.com/#/ocw-instructions/4529817134[/url] ). I think the main goal was to see the groups be low and favoring one side, as the charge weight increased the groups should have started to climb and favor the other side of the target. ideally you would chose a grouping that was closest to the middle of the target(at least from the way i understand the procedure), not the grouping that had the smallest group. the rounds I loaded ranged 4 whole grains, and pretty much every group (8 different groups) was low and more to the right. so I got nothing really, from that test. maybe I will see changes as I load heavier charges, only time will tell i suppose. i could show pictures of all the groupings, but its a lot of pictures. if you wanna see them just shout and I'll post'm [/QUOTE]
