Just my $0.02 at this point but.....
Five shots is not the best statistic but changing primers made itslightly worse. I would dump the load. The powder/bullet combination doesn't work. Maybe faster with 4320 or slower with H4831. RL17 might work. These days powder selection is availability limited. But H4350 should do better. I don't shoot anything lighter than 180gr in 308 except in 30/30. 30/06 is 6 grains of powder capacity less and I do better with 4320/4064 speed powder with 150 grain bullets. But that #14 group is only good for hunting to maybe 500 yards. It has no target potential.
