[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2577910, member: 15054"] No matter the amount of powder or the weight of bullet you will have an OCW for a rifle that bullet and powder Optimum Charge Weight. Now some bullets just stay stable in certain barrels , or should i say more stable. Accuracy nodes need to be found. Some reading on accuracy nodes and OCW will enlighten you into an entire new realm of reloading. The idea as i have interpreted it. You send a sound wave or harmonic through or around the barrel when you light off a round. This disrupts the barrel causing flexing or a whipping motion. At one point in all of this the wave will reach the end of the barrel and at a point the end of the barrel is extremely stable like being in the eye of the storm the barrel end is pointing in the same direction every time. You need the bullet to leave the barrel at this small moment in time and all of your rounds will print in a pattern that does not look like random fliers everywhere. You can have many loads that have a small spread in velocity but if they leave the barrel when it is in a bad harmonic the barrel could be point in many different dirrections and your groups will be crap. This will not be noticed too much at 100 yards stretch it to 200 and you will now begin to see the light. I quit testing loads at 100 yards I have loads that print .376" at 100 but open to 4-12" at 200 Then other loads that print .8" at 100 and print .880" at 200. OCW, accuracy node and harmonics or whatever else you like to call them.. Why one load works better than another. That is my take on the subject..have fun with that :) [/QUOTE]
