Default Got lucky with a new 308 load. Picture

I originally was using sierra 168 grain matchkings on top of 45 grains varget with neck sized remington brass and fed 210 primers with a COL of 2.77 and was getting sub 1 inch groups at 100 yards. I changed the bullet to a 165 grain gameking using remington brass only this time FL sized and used 45 grains varget with fed 210 primers and a COL of 2.77 just like with the other load. heres a pic of my results 3 shots @ 100 yards, I dont know what to do this will be primarily my hunting load should I just leave it or should I try to tune it to give a little better accuracy? The rifle is a Remington M700 mountain rifle 308 win.. Sofar I can tell its gonna be a good load just trying to decide should I play with the COL a little bit first or adjust the powder charge first? just trying to get a little insight from you more experienced guys.
