    I'd be trying some loads upwards from 54.7 .. maybe 55, 55.3 (if its not too big a load)

    The other obvious candidate for further investigation as @ebf points out is the band from 53.2-53.8

    Also, shoot 5 shots groups ... gives the good stuff more chance to shine.

    you should never have got rid of your 243 ( can of worms openers seem to be cheap to buy at the moment )

    Also, I do my OCW testing at 150 yards not 100 ... as long as you can shoot well (and it looks like you can) my opinion is that 150 makes the really open groups as obvious as the nose on your face.
