    ADI data can be a little conservative but I would be cautious about going up in one grain steps, shoot what you have loaded and see what the accuracy is like at 44 grs
    you may have reached the accuracy potential, I shoot the 87 BTHP in a 6mm Remington and get .5 MOA at near max powder loads,
    I suggest that you go up in .3 grs steps the last little bit, once you go past the optimum powder charge the accuracy will fall off quite quickly,
    Take care eyes are only issued once,
    Robert.
