You may want to tweak your loads a little by going up or down 5 grains to see if the groups shrink some more for you.
Right on Ed. With the "465 grain Mehligs" I've been going with ten grain load bumps with GOEX powder and found 85 grains is the sweet spot in my 1:30 twist GM barrel. I probably should try five grains up and down from that load just to see if it gets even better.

Here are the 100 yard groups from my last session a few weeks ago with 65, 75, and 85 grain loads. Results were pretty much the same as what I got with those loads back in October.
