range day with my 7mm-08

I don't see anything jumping out at me in any of those targets. Three shot groups don't tell you much.

Now 5 shot groups tell you how fast your barrel heats up, ...

What would u do next

use H414 powder !

I would test the 45.5 gr load again. Looks about max for Varget. CFE 223 might be the answer. IMR 4007 looks good too.

You can wait as long as you want between shots...
And knowing that your barrel does or doesn't shift POI as the barrel heats up is worth knowing, too.
