Brass trimming

Just checked my 6 mm br norma chamber with a sinclair chamber length gage. 5 out of 5 checked at 1.593. I have 200 rounds fired on 100 pieces of lapua brass trimmed by the book at 1.550.
Shot my first .1 in group (.166) this past weekend. My question is should i continue trimming by the book, or let brass grow some and trim less often. If so how long would you let it get based on my chamber?
Thanks Bill
 
My plan when the new barrel arrives is to trim to .020" under and let it grow until .010" before trimming again.

But, if I were getting groups like that, I'd second guess that decision,.
