FTR guys, How much have you jumped the 200s?

Hello guys,

I am having trouble with my load. I have done many loads, but on this one, i am struggling. I have a 308 win in a panda action. it has a bartlein barrel. 31 inch. it has a low boy stock.

It is top of the line, but i cannot get it to shoot. I am currently shooting about 1/2 MOA. I need this to be a 1/3 or a 1/4 MOA rifle. I am shooting the 200 grain hybrids. 43.4 grains of varget seems to be the best powder charge. they are running at 2650 fps. i am running lapua small primer brass.

I have tried variations of jumping 20 within thousands, and jamming within 20 thousands. my best load is a 15 thousand jam from lands.

My gunsmith tells me I need to jump them, but how far should I go? Any guidance? I am getting a bit frustrated to be honest.
 
Do you know the neck and freebore dimensions of the reamer your gunsmith used? Which scope do you have on it?

I've fund that mine shoots best when it is .005-.015 from a hard jam.
