I've never been a paper hanger puncher... but this OCW has opened up a whole new world of shooting with a PURPOSE.
I think that's a sounds strategy right there. Maybe throw 10 - 12 clicks of left on that scope of yours beforehand for us too
. I think you'll find that those weights you have list all group right in the same area, and will be pretty descent. Like you said, you'll be able to tighten it up even more with some seating depth adjustments also.
If you're not a paper shooter, then OCW is definately the way to go. After you have the OCW for your component combo, you can now quickly load up rounds and not feel like you have to measure every throw and make sure you're not +/- .1 or .2 grains. I still measure every 10 or so, just to make sure nothing is crazy, but it adds confidence knowing that even if you are off .1, you're still going to be able to hit what you're shooting at.
