I know this isnt what your looking for but after I read your thread I googled OCW and Im going to try it tomorrow. I had never heard of it but it sounds relatively easy and makes sense to me. Have you tried it yet? Thanks

I have not tried it yet, but interestingly enough some of the OCW loads that are posted for the 30-06 with H4350 have been dead on with what I have found in my rifles through ladder loads and trial and error. I am however going to use it to find a better fire forming load for my .223AI in the near future. At the moment I am trying to find out more info on the process. I did find these links if you are interested.

I've used both the Ladder and OCW. Both work and are faster than testing a lot of five shot groups with small changes but neither is magic. Seems to me the OCW is just a slighly more complex way of doing ladder tests, at least the way I do them. The old way worked too. ??

Before reading the links, I had no clue what OCW was thus have never used it. Thanks for posting the links.
