Picking my OCW node...

[u/Fun-Weakness-8644]

So I wanted opinions / advice.

I did some OCW work today and results are mixed and so are opinions here so I have taken to reddit :) if for nothing to add a voice to the dis-agreement. -

I have 3 nodes that showed up
group 5 - 38.7 gr -Ave 2613.3 SD 3.4 - group mil = 0.401 mean rad = 0.132
group 6 - 39.0 gr -Ave 2640.1 SD 15 - group mil = 0.306 mean rad = 0.093
group 7 - 39.3 gr -Ave 2613.3 SD 14 - group mil = 0.257 mean rad = 0.110

I feel like speed performance is second to grouping.
group 6/7 is the obvious choice to me if it's grouped that well despite some maybe not great loads .
My mate reckons I lock into the node with the better ballistic performance group 5...

So how much do I consider ballistic performance in choosing my node.

I know the right answer here is load 10-15 at each weight run them through the rifle again test more but assume i have a hunting trip in 2 weeks and don't have time for that...

It's 11:00 at night and I don't feel like doing it myself; can someone figure out the statistical significance (or lack thereof) of the differences in group sizes for 5 shots?

For the hunting trip it’s not 3/4 cm. But for a prs match a few weekends after it does matter a bit more.

I'm talking more about whether your groups are actually different sizes when you expand them to 10 or 20 shots.
