Optimal Charge Weight and Optimal Barrel Time

For the OCD handloaders out there, there's a thread at 6.5 Grendel forum about these two theories that deal with internal ballistics (what goes on inside the barrel/chamber when you fire a gun), and there are good links to some lite reading on the matter. Some smarty pants weighs in with pictures, links, and all sorts of convoluted nonsense in an effort to explain why OCW and OBT go together like peanut butter and Nutella. Mmmmmmmmm. . . . .Nutella!

Go check it out!

Nothing OCD about it. It's the fastest and best way to develop a long range load. I do load development at 100yds using OCW and can hold 1/2 minute vertical at 1000yds.

I hope my loads hold up like that at 1k. I may get the chance to try that far this summer.
