I would say you are done. That is exactly the same load I worked up for my sons Colt Light/NULA and It took less than 20 rounds to get there. I got lucky and arbitrarily seated to the cannelure and it worked out fine. Same velocity and group size as yours pretty much. I think it could take 200 more loads to get much if any improvement on what I already have so will load and go with these. Good to hear that you like the Hornies for big bodied deer as I hope these will be on the agenda for next season. With Mule deer, Axis and one place that has verified 200+ lb field dressed Tx. white tails we will be ready. I used the 270s little brother the 6.5x55 with 129 Hornadays and R26 last year and it worked exceptionally well.
