The 24.8 gr charge was also the sweet spot for me using the 39 gr. BK. I would probably keep heading to max load if I were you .1 grain at a time to see if it may tighten up even a little more. (Keeping an eye on pressures of course)

Kingcrawler, according to Sierra's fifth edition reloading manual max load for 39 gr Blitzkings using 10X is 24.4 grains. Did you notice any signs of over pressurization?

No pressure signs in my rifle at all but that may or may not be the case in yours. I was also under the impression that the max charge was 25.1 for that load.

Your right King. I just found 25.1 listed as max on line. I guess Sierra getting a bit chicken in it's old age, or else it's a miss print.
