When I bought the bullets, Ray of

Bullet
.40 Dead Center - 240 grain -120 gr. Triple Seven FFG
I've ordered some Hornady SST 250gr. to test. I have on hand some Knight Jacketed Bullets 240 gr, .40-240 Dead Center and some T/C XTP 240 gr.
I'll start as suggested with 85 grains of T7 and work upward. Any suggestions on with bullet to start with.
Also I heard tighten the rear recoil lug before the front recoil lug. then tighten them both the same. I have a torx driver and I have them both tightened to 50 in. lbs.
I've installed a rubber cushion at the front pressure point where that I have sanded down to float the barrel. This has worked on some of my centerfire rifles that wouldn't group. SEE ATTACHED.
