Hi,

this looks reasonable...

Are you running torsion angle SA? I guess the numbers above indicate the 
overfitting. Can you try the same run with more tight geometry 
restraints (smaller value of wxc_scale parameter) - try several 
different values (smaller than the default one, 0.5 and choose the one 
that gives more reasonable Rfree-Rwork gap)?

If you have NCS - use it.

Pavel.
