Try a standard flat based bullet first. Like a Nosler Partition, and see if you get better accuracy first.
If you don't, then it could be the powder and primer combo.
Usually, the flat based bullets will group for you very well.

I agree start with a more forgiving bullet like a Sierra GameKing or ProHunter in that weight range. If they don’t shoot, nothing will. Just my opinion but Partition isn’t a good “comparison standard” because accuracy and forgiveness on paper is rarely one of its strong points, although prolly the best hunting bullet ever. Seat the bullet deeper into the case, and use very slow powders is what I’ve been told. These ABLR bullets prefer jump for whatever reason.

tried another bullet? Try the 160 AB. The LRAB can be tricky

Dumb question, have you tried boxed ammo?
When things don’t make sense, go back to the beginning so you know what you know, and know what you don’t know.
What I’m getting at is: do you know for certain your scope and rings are solid? Do you know your barrel is free floating?
I had my base mount screw loosen up after 15 years and the barrel would touch the stock a little, tightened it back up and back to its normal 0.75”
(Not a Nosler 28, but would love to have any of the Nosler except the 30. Have enough 308 caliber guns.)
