I thought that it would be- thanks!
My previous AR cast experience is with the 6.8 and 7.62x39- both were easy button situations.

Or 22 grains of H-335, but no room to find the next node.

If those groups blow up horizontally with a little more, then you know what your load is with that combination and it's time to work on the launch a little more, making sure your necks are concentric after reloading and that the bullet and working on the launch details.
 
Went Node Hunting yesterday, decided to shoot 3 shot groups @ 100 yards with the WC846 and jump in .3 grain increments. Group #1 (15.8), Group #2 (16.1), Group #3 (16.4), Group #4 (16.7), Group #5 (17.0), Group #6 (17.3), Group #7 (17.6). Will revisit groups 1,5 &7 for further testing.P5060056.JPG

Looks nice, very nice considering at 100. I agree, tinker a bit with 1 and 5, maybe 7, and also move on in charge weights covering a couple of grains. Might hold together or just simpley completely fall apart, never know until you try.

I really like looking a load series, seeing things come together, then open up, come back together. Much more fun than browsing the internet for "magic" loads. This what make loading fun!
 
Shot some @ 100 today. Group A represents the 15.6 gr load (NO BUENO), Group B represents the 16.7 gr load (NO BUENO), Group C represents the old 17.6 gr load kicked up .3 to 17.9 (Showing some promise.........(10 in 1.135" with 7 in .857") tests will continue as time and weather permits. Will also chrono.P5130057.JPG
