Maybe I've worn it out. Maybe it's mental at this point and I'm compensating for what i think is too much muzzle jump. But it is frustrating when it only took 150 rounds to find and confirm the following on a rifle I finished putting together 2 weeks ago (note that these shots were taken in between some ladders with my Satern barrel when I couldn't get a 5 shot group less than 1.5" running from 27.4 to 28.4 grains of 8208 XBR with 123 gr ELDs. Both rifles have an SSA-E). Regardless of all, you should look for the longest gas system possible for your given barrel length for both accuracy and recoil minimization.
