    Yea mate would have to check my notes but off the top of my head I shot a ladder test first. Identified that the lower charges wouldn't give the velocity I was after however there looked to be promise around the 68-69 grain area. Crept my loads up in half grain increments and sure enough groups tightened up dramatically at the 68, 68.5 and 69 grain charges. What was the highest charge you loaded?


    I'm assuming since you're asking whether it's worth heading to 66 grain you haven't yet? I'm no reloading guru but what I'd to to see if it's worth while is do a ladder, creeping up in half grain increments from you're previous high where you had no pressure signs.

    My accuracy node was around the 68 - 69 grain range in a standard tikka. With the 162 eldx (mag length) Norma brass, and CCI magnum primers. However that's just mine and you could well hit pressure before this.

    Food for thought but if you have a fair bit of this powder as you say then may as well tinker
