How much effort did you spend trying to get that load to shoot better. Accuracy can change with your next pound of powder, or a new lot of bullets. There are several articles written about your best accuracy coming from close to max loads. I am curious what yardage does your load go transonic? My guess is about 1200 yards.
I spent a lot of time playing around with different powders/charges/seating depths before I chose the one I'm using. Most loads shot between .75-1.25", with my pet load consistently shooting 5/8". I worked up to max loads with BLC2, CFE223, and AR-Comp and my groups seemed to fall apart when I got too high. Either way, I won't complain with the performance of the round.
I should be going transonic somewhere around the 1150-1200 yard mark depending on the elevation I'm shooting at (anywhere from 4k'-7k'), but it still appears to remain stable all the way out to a mile. Looking at all of the hits on steel, every impact is still centered and concentric. Whereas I've had a buddy shooting a DT SRS in 6.5 Creedmoor with 129gr Prime ammo and his has obvious signs of yaw at 1400 yards. He was pretty pissed considering it's in a rifle system that's right around the $5k mark without optics haha
