Factory ammo is bit limited down South... limited to mainly to Hornady Black and custom... my rifle was spraying them a bit (Black @ 2.3" at 100m). I've done some reloading and it seems that my rifle likes a seating depth of COBL 1.725"... so I reseated the factory ammo to that length and the grouping improved heaps (0.8", unfortunately the chrono didn't work for all the shots, but the two that it did work for were the exact same MV)... so just food for thought, if factory ammo is limited, they might just need a little tweaking to group better.
