After creating a great load using 22.8gr of Vhit 133 and being slightly disappointed by the velocity of 2,850fps I thought I'd experiment some more with higher charges and keep and eye on pressure signs.

Max book load for the 53gr V-Max is 23gr and last week I knocked some up in 0.2gr increments from 23gr - 24gr. Best group was at 23.6gr. The group size increased at 23.8gr and started to close up again at 24gr.

Thinking I might be coming back onto another 'accuracy node' I loaded up some more rounds from 24.2gr - 25gr and tested them out this afternoon at 100 yards.

Here's the result- all four shot groups: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6toefmsnyg..._0280.JPG?dl=0

24.4gr and 24.8gr appear to be the best but I can't just decide which load to use. Quite a lot of mirage today so I put the flyers down to me.

Which load would you choose?
