So I just wrapped up an ocw test for my 30 nosler and got some good results I think. Could some of your more experienced loaders take a look and give me your opinions? I hit a good nose at 76 and possibly another one at 80. I only loaded up to 80 because nosler book max with h1000 was 79 but I haven’t hit pressure yet so I was thinking about takin it up to 82 to see if I’m in a node in the low 80’s and see if I get any pressure. Or would you take the 76 and sacrifice some of the velocity for the accurate node? FDE4E3D4-2CC8-4C8C-8E2D-D0627317DE2C.jpeg

If it were me, I'd try .2 lower, and .2 higher than those two nodes, and and probably expect to add .2 increase up to 82gr.

To me the 76 looks like it could be pretty narrow. I would personally keep going untill you hit pressure. The top end of what you have looks promising.

+1 that 76 group is nice but 75.5 and 76.5 aren’t showing much to make it a wider node. I’d keep going and try 80.5,81,81.5 and see what they look like before deciding on a charge weight.
