Savage .223 Expecting too much?

They are the 80 VLDs, wrote it wrong on the target.
Here in the info on the "good " target
Berger 80 gr VLDs with RL15, and Rem 7 1/2 primers. The first group is seated .010 into the lands, second is .040 off, and third is .080 off.
 
Problem Solved I have a load that out shoots my other guns. That is what I wanted.
I could tweak it a little and maybe get more.
It was either the Rem 7 1/2 primers or maybe the neck tension, maybe the lower run-out, maybe seating depth? Gotta love that.....it shoots but still not sure what it was.
I think the .010 off will be the best, .002 off-clear loser .010 in may have possibilities?

With my experience I would say it's the primers but, there is only one way to know for sure... Anyways it looks like you are ready for Harris this weekend.Lead some ammo and bring that thing out!
 
Got new bushings .250 and .249
I am going to us the .250 with the fire formed Lapua brass because that seems the be the best SD's right now. I like the more consistent feeling when seating the bullet.
It is more accurate than me right now.
