45.5grs varget, under a 168gr. matchking seated to 2.805" oa. has been the load I've shot sense I put the rifle together. It always proved to be a .75-1.0" load so I loaded 400 and never chased any other loads. I only have a few of those left so I prepped some brass to load up some more and decided to play with the seating depth a little.
Here is before and after.

Wow that is a pretty awesome group! Any worries about the POI shifting down almost 2"?

No worries on the poi shift. I twisted the turret down between groups and just went too far.

Better bullets in the wind at longer distances, but I was never unhappy wiht how 168s seemed to mostly want to shoot.

That was about the last tweak I did to my loads... would take what I got the best results out of and then seat 22 each at different enough depths and shoot 600 yard matches with them to see if anything proved better.
