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.

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.
