    I do similar when looking for the perfect load with a centrefire rifle: These were 45 consecutive shots with my 6mmbr at 110 yards. Settled on 29.6 gns then start adjusting seating depth.

    It starts to get very difficult when your looking for the "best" results, human error - (especially at 110 yards) can throw your findings so easily, I've even got different results on different days with the same pellets/gun/conditions etc., the only variable was me
