Hello,
Might want to try Lapua Brass, Fed 210M primers, Sierra 175 SMK if your barrel twist is 1/12 and 44.2 grains of IMR 4064. Seat bullets some 2-4 thousands from lands and grooves. Your chamber may not accept such a set up, but as close as you can get it usually tightens groups. This load is somewhat "warm" but try to work up to it slowly and should be fine and believe you will like results.
