[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 971280, member: 50867"] I would never recommend changing bullet and powder load at the same time. Do one, decide on a load from the data you collect, and then work on the other. IMO, .020 off the lands is a good starting point and in your situation I would work on adjusting OAL (CBTO) in .006 increments (in both directions - sometimes .030 beats .020 and moving closer to the lands might not be the answer) to see where the node(s) might be. What were the load variations between 49 and 51.5 grains? What rifle? Custom reamer or factory? I can't find anything from Alliant for Re#25 (they list 4000-MR for the 6mm Remington and .243 Winchester) and their reloading data lists Re#25 for Weatherby Magnums and other large capacity cartridges (slow burning powder); Re#22 for .270, 7mm magnum and .300 Win Mag. It might be that you've just got the wrong powder. Have you tried Varget? [/QUOTE]
