I have been experimenting with 'reduced recoil' load for my son's .270. Using SR 4759, I stepped up from 18gr to 30gr using a 110 gr. sierra spitzer. Several groups fired 4 shots in 1.25", several around 1", but at 21gr and 28 gr the groups got down in the .5" range. I'm thinking that for the lightest recoil with the best accuracy, I should load him up some 21grs. Maybe load the 28gr for small whitetails in the under 100 yd range.

Has anybody else found more than one sweetspot when working up a load? If so, do you usually choose the one with the highest velocity? Add or subtract half a grain to see if it tunes in a little better? I'm new to reloading so I'm trying to formulate a process for future load development.
