[QUOTE="JohnyRingo, post: 1589779, member: 100050"] That's exactly what I did. I backed off my normal load because the bullet had to be seated deeper on my new rifle. I then went up by 0.5 grains until there wasn't a significant increase in speed. I then went with the last powder charge that yielded that last significant increase in speed. What I have read since then is that I should have split the last two powder charges in half. My groups have been okay...about 1 moa. I was hoping for closer to 1/2 moa. I am replacing the cheap factory stock that came with the XBolt Stainless Stalker with a custom, carbon McMillan Game Scout to see if that tightens the group a little. [/QUOTE]
