I've never owned a cartridge that shot to its potential loaded light. If accuracy was acceptable then once increased it just got better. Before I started whittling, bedding, and reinventing the wheel I would start at 2grs under max, seat the bullet at saami max and make sure there's nothing obvious about how the rifle is set up such as rings, action torque, scope, and range setup. It doesn't make any sense to me to go further until you take this first step. You do have the issue of a light short barrel to contend with, great to carry and basically designed to put a couple cold bore shots on target, extended range sessions, maybe not.
