I thought I had the same anomaly, but Looking back on my semi-organized load notes I have 57/Rl9-140 btip at 2904 avg for the 280 with 'good groups'. Which is kinda my standard for most shots touching each other.

No two barrels are the same is my explanation. Rifles are individuals much like the persons fire'n them....

My chrono has been the best reloading aide, not so much for the velocity but stuff like more accurate trajectory and consistent velocities.
