    Some more testing between 53.2 and 53.8, looks like you found a nice consistent patch. maybe check 53.3, 53.5 and 53.7

    Do 5 shot groups, or more

    Then start playing with seating depth to shrink the groups
    mucko and Carpe Diem like this.

    How do I go about that? Do I load groups at 0.1 grain increment?

    Seating of projectile was 30thou off the lands.
