Good problem to have

I’ve been getting my final loads together for an upcoming Buffalo hunt. My go to recipe is a 475 gn CEB Safari Raptor and RL 15 going 2400 +/- FPS out of my 500 NE. It regulates perfectly and has served me well on several hunts. I’ve been seeing a few guys on here talking about the 570 gn Swift A frame so I decided to load some up and give them a try. The 2 shot group to the the left is the A frame going 2190 fps. The CEB load is the more centered vertical group. Normally they look like the A-frame group but my dog crossed under my line of fire as I touched off the second shot. I originally tried an A-frame load and wasn't impressed. After reviewing what others were saying, I decided that I may have not pushed it hard enough. So I bumped the powder charge up 2 grains and it really came together. Both groups were shot at 50 yards. This gives me something to think about, either load should work fine.

Both will work! My vote is the Aframe. They have never failed me and I believe that the 570gr is perfect weight in a 500NE.
