Speaking of which...... Is testing at 200m ok? I'm worried that as I'm the weakest link in the chain, this might skew the results? The other option is 50m, but that seems far to close to actually tell me anything.

Also, the span of powder loads is quite wide. Should I test 5 loads from bottom to top, find the best and then try five loads closer together based on that?

And I've just remembered I meant to order ammo boxes........
Testing at 200m should be ok , use a rear rest and front rest / bipod, shoot for groups (don’t bother adjust scope until groups form - presuming you are hitting the target use a small aiming mark as well
For a 1:8 twist try some smk 69grain and possible PPU 69’s & 75’s
As you’ve said initially load say 5 -10 rounds of each weight (powder) from bottom to top and then fine tune from what appears to be the best groups .
You should be getting groups (ideally)of 1moa or less so less than 2 inches at 200m ��
