JMO here, accuracy nodes can be achieve at anywhere along the powder charge range, if you have a bullet and powder that your barrel likes? and have all your brass prep set up correctly and a seating depth that has a correct jump to the lands, Bolt actions can be tune easier IMO compared to a gas gun, the only thing that will restrict you is magazine length, My custom built 308win bolt gun I can seat the bullets out as long as I like it's a detachable AICS magazine, and the rifle likes the 175gn SMK's and they like to be 10k off the Jam length, My 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun I can set the bullets out as long as I like, I started off at 10k off the Jam, but the accuracy node didn't start to come in until I set the 147gn ELDM at 29k off the Jam length, it's also a detachable AICS mag gun, IMO the longer 6.5mm bullets tend to like a longer jump to the lands, the 6.5mm 123gn ELDM's are longer then my .308 175gn SMK's, that said, IMO is why they like a longer jump in some rifles, the 6.5mm bullets, Powder charges are about barrel harmonics, when you figure out how to put a combination together of all these factors, then you should start seeing your accuracy, JMO
