Shot again this evening. 47gr IMR 4350, Remington brass (New), Winchester Large Rifle Primer, 70gr Speer TNT, seated a touch deeper at 2.700 COL. This combination has produced several 3 shot groups 1/2", but not consistent, so I fouled barrel with some old factory, since i cleaned it yesterday after shooting, and tried a 5 shot group. Right at 1" at 100 so I let barrel cool and had 3 more loaded up the same and shot a 1.5" 3 shot group. It is not my shooting, I may not be the best but I shoot a lot and have no trouble getting accuracy out of my other rifles. I use a bench jack, and rabbit ear rear bag, and a couple sand bags for comfort and to hold the jack. That is all of the new brass, I guess I have shot the gun 200 rounds or so, at least 100 hand loads of different combos.
I am going to drop it off at the Smith ASAP and let him bed re bed it. Dont know what else to try.
