First off I'd like to thank all of you for your insights, advice, and sharing of experiences. Big shout out to Phil Rizzo for the suggestion to move to a magnum primer.
I loadedsome stuff with fed215 primers starting at 55.5 gr and stepping up in .2 gr increments to 56.1 gr as I didn't want to swing too hard based on my previous issues. The first 3 groups were all ~3120-3140 range 2 shots close to the other and 1 flier. Last group was right at 3150 @ ~ 1". I feel like there's quite a bit more on the table but as a few have pointed out 3150 is what's expected on the increase from rem to ackley and this isn't my main rifle so I'm going to call it good for now and move on to the 280 Ai and 7mm PRC.
Should i expect similar issues with the 280 or is it more forgiving since it isn't as overbore? Fed 210 or 215 primers?
