Depending on your data quality and the nature of the crystal it might be
that you cannot reduce R/Rfree any further.
Low R/Rfree is not the goal of refinement and model building - at least
not for the humans doing it. The goal is to get as good a model as
possible, and if your data are not very good, or also for various other
possibilities you might not be able to improve the statistical guidelines.
I am not suggesting you should stop refining now - but without knowing you
data/ resolution/ data statistics it is very difficult to give an answer.
Cheers, Tim
