howa 1500 sporter .308. 21" barrel loading varget powder for 155 eldm. found a good velocity node with 45.6 to 46.0 grains with an es of 13. groups are 2.5" at 100 yards. not good at all but just under that at 45.4 grains I get an es of like 40 but the rifle shoots .82. I really want a tighter velocity spread but accuracy is paramount. I plan on loading a few more 3 shot groups at that 45.4 charge and confirming the tight groups then mess with seating depths all while keeping track of the changes in ES. What are my options to hunt down that happy place of good ES and tight groups?
