[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 632456, member: 10291"] I am sure that there are many ways to interpet your info and proceed, but at this point I would take the 49.5 gr. load and proceed from there, assuming your groups are symmetrical. Your group sizes at 49.5 and under are statistically the same and there seems to be a break above 49.5. To continue testing with small increments may not be the best use of your time given you still have to find out what your velocity and ES which is important. Given you don't have your Chrono yet, other things I would check: The effect of seating depth, if you haven't already done so. Test group at longer range if accessible. In addition to seeing how your load performs, at + 500 yards, while not precise, using a ballistic calculator you could get an idea of your velocity using impact point and BC. With your powder out of a 26" barrel, you should be around 2950FPS. IMHO [/QUOTE]
