Best Powder for 405 Winchester??

I have been using Reloader 7 and it is fairly accurate but velocity spreads are a little higher than i care for. My current load is 53.0 with the Remington 210JSP. It is chrono'ing 2400 from the 16" barrel of my competitor (pic below). I am going to work this load up, as it is not max currently, to see if a higher load density helps.

Any help from experience??

Isn't Re 7 a little fast? I would have thought Re 15 would be better suited for the cartridge, Hell, what do I know. [Wink]
