Which pill you running and what powder ? I had a crack using the Sierra Blitzkings for 243 and they were -OK- but ran hot as hell and got very innaccurate at 250+ yds ...
Vmax 58's on the other hand are the bomb ... shittingly accurate ... using 2206h (45.8gn) from memory although dont quote me on that
