As you say the rifle is a hunter and it may never get better than this either. Although its pedigree should help with smaller groups.
IIRC most CM's shoot 2209 well with 41.5 Grains for 143's sorry 140's

I went through a whole bunch of OCW and other tests with mine only to find this out a short time later.

I shoot mine with 140s and use 41.5 of 2209,but I don't even get 2600fps.
The first time we went out matey shot a 2" three shot group with Hornady Match ammo.
