Yeah I do all of that too, and had the same issue as you when I was at 27.5g which shot even better.

I may have my bullets seated out longer? I'm using lapua brass so not sure if there is a capacity difference to what you use.

If you neck size only you gain some capacity. I've gone back to full length sizing now tho.
