RE: HOW DO YOU FIND BEST ACCURACY WHEN WORKING UP LOADS?
 

And yet you still contend that you can use one load for the variations. LMAO. While your OCW theory may work well in extremely controlled circumstances it just doesn't hold water in the real world. We have also noticed that you won't admit to where you are and you got real defensive when someone surmised your identity. Get over it. The people on this board have extensive experience, and yes extensive opinions and preferences. I'll go with experience over your theory that you can work up a load for your barrel harmonics that can and do change due to weather conditions, temperature, humidity yada, yada, yada.

Now you start this childish BS with your immature comments. Get a life and admit your wrong. Every time someone replied with intelligent and tangible responses you had nothing to reply with except the same BS and rhetoric you spewed forth in the first place.

How about you come up with an intelligent response to tell all of us who apparrently don't know what we are talking about how temperature and weather don't affect pressure, barrel harmonics and barrelled action to stock fit. While your at it why don't you come up with another intelligent response how your one load will shoot to the same point of impact and the same pressures at each end of your 145' temperature swing.

Living in NJ doesn't have a thing to do with it either.

I have a pet load for the 35 Rem using H4895 and 200gr Corelokts. Its 2180fps at 70 degrees F. And its 2160fps at 40 degrees F. And it could be any where between -10 and 40 dgrees in MI during deer season. I just have to adjust, but it works good and is accurate enough for 15-150 yards shoots. This is an extream powder as well not a powderknown for large tempature veriations. I use the same H4895 for the 358 Win and do not see anything that extream with temperature changes in the 358 win?

O k my explaination is a little late here .I once shot a batch of aquired ammo in this case LC42 was the head stamp 30-06'
I would get over a bench or sitting and 2 or 3 would cluster into around 4" then 2-3 would go low and right or straight down or high left always about 9" in my frustration I faulted the gun myself etc . Finally after about 40 rounds of this nonsense I decided to just empty the brass and build a load that would work in this rifle . So I practiced form breathing trigger control untill I had burned up the remaining 80 rounds . The ultimat result? 3 groups of 4"about 4" apart . Cases that varied 1.5 grains of water capacitycaused the impact shift . I had shot4 bullet weights 150,165,175,180from Win Fed Rem totaling 11 boxes groups were from bad to not even on the paper . My load barely off the minimum gives me around 2600 fps with a 150 spbt and 5 under a silver dollar if I reduce the load just .3 grn I can cover 3 with a dime 5 with a nickle . Of course I did match those cases volume andtrim those 40 are all but used up now So I must start all over .
