Always shoot at 100yds when testing. At 50 it's just too close.

OCW is where it's at in load development. Less shots fired. Once you get the load perfected shoot 10 rounds at the max distance you plan to shoot at. It will tell you how accurate that load is.

Remember I use a chrony, fewer shots doesn't give a good average for velocity. My RA shows about 75fps to 100fps more velocity, averaged, at the starting loads than given in my Speer and Lyman manuals. Not sure why since it's a 22" barrel which is close to the 22" Remington 700 the manuals used to test and publish their data.
