Scotty has been invaluable giving me some help here and I'm grateful to him.
Yes, there have been some teasing results, but each time I test a load, I seem to get one round 'Thrown'.
So I may put two rounds together very close, occasionally even touching holes, but then a third round will squirt off maybe 1 1/4" away.
Accepting on the odd occasion this might be pilot error, I've repeated the loads and not seen an improvement.
I've tried, IMR4350, H4350, Rel.22, Vit.N160 and currently I'm on IMR4831.
Testing various OAL's, I have concluded my barrel likes these bullets very close to the lands.
If I can get to a recipe providing .5" 'ish groups consistently, I'll be pleased with that and settle. At the moment, I'm some way off that goal.
I notice with 51gns of IMR4831 while I have seen .800'ish groups including the 'Thrown' round, there's also some slight 'Sooting' up into the shoulder of the spent cartridge.
Now, I know this is not due to underloading the round, but I'm thinking perhaps the IMR4831 may be a tad too slow??
Cheers, a confused ET :?
