I think @Jhon has the right idea. I feel that for a hunting rifle the idea of developing an ideal load is actually pretty pointless if anything you chuck down the barrel prints about 1 moa anyhow.
Federals blue box is an ideal indicator of what's going on.
Bench rest accuracy for hunting is usually wasted as your shooting position is usually less than optimum your target size anything up to 5 inches and the range around 50 to 300 yards. Virtually any bullet, charge weight and seating depth will do that.
Of course I stand to be corrected on this. (-:
