I finally made it out to the range to try some new loads in my Tikka CTR today. To date I've been using 168gr Nosler HPBT's over IMR 4064, with good results, but decided it was time to branch out a bit. Today I shot Optimal Charge Weight workups for 178gr Amax over Varget, and my normal 168 Nosler HPBT, also over Varget.
For those of you who have some experience with OCW load workups, I'd appreciate your opinion on which charge weight you would choose to from my set of targets to pursue. I tried to mark a red dot where I figured the center of the group would be.
I'm leaning towards 44.3gr with the 178 Amax, and 45gr with the 168 HPBT, but I'd like to hear what others would do.
178 Amax, Varget
168 HPBT, Varget
