Sounds as if you have an excellent load in that one. Twenty rounds covered by a nickle isn't bad at all. Good job.
Outstanding Range Results!

Sounds like you found a winner. There is nothing like finding that sweet spot in a gun/load.
The 2 22-250's I had liked H380 and AA2015 with 53gr Hornady flate base match bullets. It seems to me I was getting 3850ish for velocity. The Sierras never shot as well as the Hornady's in my guns. They shot so well I bought 3-4000 of them and then sold my 22-250's and built a .22BR. Since then I had a .223 and .221 that I tried to shoot 40 and 50gr BT's plus a couple different Sierra's through and ended up with the 53gr Hornady's because they shot so much better. I had a Remington 788 that was a consistent 1/4" to 3/8" gun and now my dad has it.

SE, in that case you may want to try less than 0.5grs., 0.2 or 0.3.Rick.
