May be able to improve the group by going up and down .2 grain at a time around that node, and COAL adjustments may improve it as well, but if you load it to same COAL as factory, with same bullet and speed you will be very close to the group the factory ammo is giving you. I have done this with a number of different rounds, particularly 7x57 and 257 Weatherby. In both of those specifically the factory ammo would shoot under 1/2" at a hundred yards.

Would love to hear how you make out.
x2 ,I believe Dean is correct ,because it's just a matter of time till you hit the sweet spot to match up your factory stuff.
