My wife gave me the go ahead on a new rifle!

Here is shot group H through K.

Note that the 2 shots on J on the right are both fliers and I will need to re-test this load. I pulled them both. The reason for the retest is the 2 shots on the left are both in one oblong hole.

Here are my measurements in the pic below. Note that the distance from POA to POI on some of the3 shot groups are the same as the 4 shot groups. this is because the furthest bullet hole for the three shot group was also he same bullet hole that was farthest for the 4 shot group as well. If you note on E above, you will see what looks like 3 holes. There are 4 shots in three holes there. I had some contact paper behind my target to see if there was any fliers. I would have had to miss by 8 to 10 inches to miss on E's target and not hit the contact paper. I didn't hit the contact paper anywhere other than where it was behind the 2 targets seen in these pictures.

As you can see on my tablet below I have chosen 4 groups to further explore. From what you see here, am I going about this correctly, in a logical manner? What would you do differently if you were working up a new load for this rifle? If anything?

Since this discussion has changed from the original topic, should I re-post it in a new thread in the reloading section, or do you think people will answer my loading questions here?
