I still havn't fixed the range issue. Other than Whatawhata, all other ranges fall outside the Level 3 Waikato Boundary.
Previous conversation with the Whatawhata club suggested they are not set up for Sighting in rifles etc. Just competition shoots when the farm allows.

I started up some reloads a couple of weeks back using some once fired (not from this rifle) Hornady Brass, which I had full sized and rough trimmed, chamferred, and deburred. I dont have the right trimming tools right now.
Although brass size is within a couple of thou, I can't say they are consistently even.

As I was just going to look for the nodes where multiple load weights share similar velocities, I wasn't too sure how much the brass would hurt the data.

I had loaded the following;
5x 51.1 for verification
1x 51.4
1x 51.7
Not sure what my thought process was, because I then jumped up to the other end of the scale.
1x 55.4
1x 55.7
1x 56.0
1x 56.3
1x 56.6
1x 56.9
1x 57.2
1x 57.5
1x 57.8
1x 58.1

If anything, I figure the above will at least help with some initial barrel break in.

I think that you will find the rifle boringly accurate. Make sure to fire those loads on targets so you can see any abrupt changes in point of impact. You are on your way though just need the Covid to clear a bit like the Waikato fog on a sunny day. We are having out 4th consecutive day of wet here in HB so I won't be doing any testing for a bit.
