New to uploading so pardon if am not getting it right... somehow attached a 'thumbnail' and can't delete it.
Rem 700 PSS 24" BBL
Working on new loads with 168gr SMK, Varget, Fed 210 primer, FC Brass
Brass weighs ~ 181 grains.
100 yards bench rest
Working on loads for F Class 300/500/600 yds
Found I better start separating brass by weight, even the FC match stuff. Started some reloading, worried more about bumping the shoulder, OAL, triming etc and started dumping powder into cases. Some were up to the base of the neck, others down at the base of the shoulder for the same powder weight. Pulled all the bullets dumped the powder back in the bin and separated case by weight. Started at 2.80 OAL equivalent based on checking the ogive on a Federal GMM and duplicating with the 168 SMK.
Started at 42.0 gr powder. Only got to 44.0 due to the case capacity was staring to compress the powder at 44.0 grains

Looks like I had a node at 42-42.2

And again at 43.4 43.8

Has been suggested I start moving the bullet out further at the 43.4-.8 loads and move to 200 yards to check for groupings.
