..............Can't say as I blame ya. You are thrilled with the accuracy but your speeds are slow.

First if it were me, I would try using another brand of 110 gr bullet (if available) with the same charges and powder you have been using. Then see what your chrony says. If you are getting the same range of slow speeds, then imo you have a slower bore.

If that is the case, then try changing over to the other powders previously mentioned and see what kind on velocity increases you get using the same 110 Nosler and other 110 gr bullet choices.

But after all is said and done, accuracy is your main goal. But you do want the speeds to go with it if possible.

It is a fine balancing act.
