Default Another Win Model 70 thread

My saga continues with my custom Win Model 70 LH in 270 WSM. You may recall I was getting less than ideal results with Nosler 140 BTs. I only had one load that shot about 1". I decided to go with the Nosler 130 gr BTs because they shot so well in my 270 WIN.
On NoMercy's advice I loaded some rounds up using the Satterlee method. Charges ranging from 60.0 gr up to 62.7 gr of IMR4350 in 0.3 gr increments. I found that my best node was at the 60.0 - 60.6 gr. (2995, 2999 & 3008 fps avg of 3 shots - That's a very good node.) This maybe by coincidence coincides with my manuals 60.0 gr as the most accurate load using IMR4350.
Now my next phase is already to go. I loaded 5 rounds each of 60.3 gr. at OALs of 2.760 - 2.790 in .010" increments. This longest length is just off the lands.
Now my question to Nomercy is this: Should I shoot these rounds in a "round robin" deal or shoot all 5 of one charge, cool, and go to the next?
Its really funny how you can be reloading for as long as I have and still find out new ways to do things. I'm glad there are people figuring better ways to do things and I'm not too stubborn to try them!
