[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1333502, member: 50867"] While I try to avoid going nuts over SD/ES an ES of 55 fps would cause me to go back to the drawing board. It's all in the load, of course, so it is possible for you to tune it a bit tighter. When I'm happy with the MV I usually start looking at seating depth and/or primers. But only one at a time. Never a good idea to introduce two tests at the same time to analyze one problem. Once you get that ES down around 25 see what your 300 yard groups look like. I'm not suggesting you stop at 25, but when you get there and look at your 300 yard groups you'll have a better feel for what's working and what's not working so you can set meaningful goals for squeezing it down further.
