With that kind of accuracy you don’t need more velocity. When you find an accuracy node that allows you to shoot the head off a crow at 200m, stick with it. If I got what amounts to one hole accuracy at 3000fps with a 69gr .224 bullet, I most certainly would not switch powder in order to chase what amounts to probably less than 10% in fps terms. Work out your dope with drop tests at 50m intervals, and then back validate your velocity - it may well be higher than you think.
I shoot with a couple of sh!t hot varminters here, both of whom use their own wildcats, and both of whom will scold those who chase velocity over accuracy. High BC varmint bullets and low ES reloading is what its all about, the highest possible velocity is meaningless if you can’t shoot bunnies at 400m. That 0.25” is precious.
