Ok team, i’ve been doing some load development. I conducted an OCW test and landed with 71gr H4831sc behind a 200gr Berger hybrid. Today I tested the loads stability. I shot x2 70.5gr, x4 71, x2 71.5gr (top 3 targets in the picture). *for all the seating depth targets there are 4 shells too*...

Yeah we’re going up a few days ahead of time! It’s only 5.5 weeks away now! The Uncompahgre Wilderness is pretty up there... we plan on camping at 11,000 and near the southern end of the drainages it’s all over 13,000. From what i’ve read, they should be up there and that high in mid-October?

My best friend and I drew for 1st season elk in GMU 65this year. We plan on backpacking into the Uncompahgre Wilderness and hunt the east fork of the Cimarron River. That being said, does anyone have any other areas in the GMU we should look at? I welcome any and all advice, in general. Thanks!

For those interested: I do not have a picture, but I re-shot all 6 original loads. I ended up with 55.2gr. 54.8, 55.2, and 55.6 has the exact same POI when I re-shot. All 3 of these groups were less than .5 MOA. 55.2 also had a perfect clover leaf with rounds completely overlapping - estimating...

I think I am going to re-shoot 54.4, 54.8, 55.2, 55.6, 56, and add 56.4. I’m competent but not an expert shot. There was a full value 0-4mph wind that I never compensated for, so shots could shift left/right up to .3”. Shooting these charges again should confirm with certainty if there is a...

The bottom 55gr were the first 3 shots, but it was not a clean bore. I had scrubbed it shiny clean and then shot 5 previous to this to foul the barrel a bit - they were not shot at a target.

After further examination it appears 54.0 and 54.4 have the exact same POI then at 54.8 it shifts about 3/8”...which is really not that much but I’m not an OCW expert. There may be some potential to shoot 53.6, 54.0, 54.4, and 54.8 to see what’s there.

I just got back from the range and I have a relatively good problem to have. I’m not sure where my OCW node is out of the 6 loads I shot - but most charge weights shot fairly tight groups. I used new Lapua brass, 185gr Bergers .012 off the lands, CCI BR2 primers, and IMR 4451 at: 54.0, 54.4...
