Thanks for the encouragment. At seventy-one I don't have time to get better.

I'd try loads from 5 to 6 in .2 increments

I would also work on loads 4,5,6 and do as BN said. Are you sure you didn't pull #3 out?
Wouldn't of it been easier to just stick with the .264 Win Mag? I know; I know.

That was my thought. Would try some loads between 4 & 6 with 0.2-0.3gr spread.

GregW, I am looking for the most accurate load with the least amount of rounds fired.

Nodes can get lost in the "noise" if you've got other stuff going on. I don't see what I would feel confident identifying as a node there.

I would suggest the node lies in 2, 4 & 6 with 8 being on the same plain but outside the true node, maybe it was pulled. I would load .3gr increments from 4 through to 8 and re-test. I would not bother with 2, 5 or 7 in the next test string. Just load .3gr above and below 4, 6 and 8. Cheers.

Even if there's an accuracy load there the window is way to tight, especially if he's considering long range hunting.

Where's the node? What's the frequency. Kenneth?

Would have to agree. Data too random to make conclusions. DF

Also, with a cartridge like that I'd be prone to load it to the gills and just make sure it was MOA or better at the 100. Then I'd load up a pile and use the barrel life for practice.
I can't see any reason to leave velocity on the table with that type of big game cartridge.

agreed. that is already more rounds in load development than I've used in my last three rifles combined.

Quit shooting groups. Load to case capacity with slow powder, seat the bullet to the base of the neck, then go kill something. I never saw a group kill anything...
