    I’d be asking some other questions like - how reproducible are these results? How consistent are the numbers ? Speed and group size ?
    Are these from single 3 shot groups ? Or 5 ? Or multiple 3x?
    What’s the shape of each group ?
    It’s pretty easy for the shooter to slightly push or pull one shot. Shooter technique or slight variations of could make a 0.3 grp into 0.6 and on a good day vice versa.
    Personally I’d doubt that there’s any statistical difference between 0.5 and 0.6 unless you’ve got a heap of data behind it.
    I’d be running some more groups before making decisions. Might be worth experimenting with seating depth too ?
    You might find that all 3 loads are actually all around 0.4 moa +/- 0.2 ?
    In which case you can take your pick
