Finally speed is by far the last thing to worry about. 100 fps more or less will make way less impact on the end results than will be by going with the most accurate group.

I agree.

Try your loads again under different weather conditions. Pick the one that is the most consistant. It may not produce the best group at +5deg, it my not produce the best group at 95deg... but it will be in the smaller end of your average group size..

It took me nearly three months to develop a load for one rifle I have, and it shoots the best at +55 deg F out of a warmed-up barrel, but it's always a good preformer. I know them da** groundhogs are pretty much gonna be DOA no matter what.

What's the MV of that load? I don't have a clue... gotta remember one thing.. game doesn't care if you miss it at 2700 fps... only if you hit it at 2200 fps..
