Keep in mind one thing though... 3 shot groups are useful for zeroing and verifying the zero of a rifle.  They may be a true indicator of your rifle's accuracy potential, but often don't tell you what you need to know about true repeatability.  To really see how your rifle shoots, you'd need at least 5 shot groups to give you good statistical data.  I would anticipate you'd still have very good 5 shot groups with that load, but it will give you a more realistic idea of your rifle's true accuracy potential. 
5 shot groups are most frequently quoted as the lowest number needed to maximize the likelihood that each grouping was not a statistical error, as shooting more than this increases the chance of fliers, hot barrels and inaccuracy, poor sighting etc.  but if you could shot a 100 group shot like that, it would be great.  nice rifle and nice grouping.

The five shot group to prove this load went under 1/2"......about .466 if I remember right. I don't have a picture of it yet, but I'm happy.
