    Lots of helpful info on here.
    After reading this thread I went out and bought a neck expander die, which has quartered the size of my groups (1.5in at 50 from 4-5in). I put it down to that I'm no longer sizing the projectile down by shaving some lead off when seating on sharper straight edges. May sound silly but others had told me it would be fine without flaring.

    My load is Robertw1s (from trademe) 200grn subs, flash hole drilled out to 3.5mm, CCI magnum primers, 9.4grn of Trail Boss in a 16in barrel 308.

    Haven't chronied them yet but at 9.6grn the odd one was still supersonic and will see how they go on some Taranaki goats this weekend.
