Yea I agree with Henry above, that's not to bad if shot at a 100m, and its half inch target grid, and it looks like it to me, I would go with the loads #8 and 9 and do a bit more testing,
general rule, is you want at least the dia of the projectile to be in the case, you don't have much for the brass neck to grip on, and may not be getting all your ammo centering in brass, I would likely, try seating a bit deeper, don't worry about chasing the lands, I have a very accurate 6mm Remington M700, and a 7x57 M70 shooting 162 a-max, with lots off jump,
shoot five shot groups, and try a few different seating depths at around, 71-71.5, any one can fluke, a good three shot, 4-5 tell the real story.
22" 7mm rem be a barky bastard, without a suppressor, likely start to affect shooting.
You should also have a think, about what you are trying to achieve, chasing little groups, with bench rest accuracy, or a accurate hunting rifle, ( looks pretty good to me)
If those boxes are 1/2, then you have two groups, at around 3/4 inch (19 mm), have a think about what that means, not enough do,
A 3/4" (19mm) group means that every shot, has landed with in 10mm of your point of aim, at a given distance, not bad aye.![]()
