Default Got to shoot Long Range Hunter for the first time, advice??

Well i picked it up yesterday got a Burris 3x9 with ballistic plex mounted and took it out today and shot it about 20 times. I was hoping for alot better results but i guess i will have to spend some time with different loads. I was using 100grns ffgT7 and Barnes 250g spitfire tmz. It was holding about 3-4inch group at 100yds. I tried swabbing in between shots, skipping a shot,lube in between shots. I didnt try to adjust different loads of powder it started raining. The Spitfire seem to load very easy, maybe to easy. IHopefully i can get it straightened out and shoot alot better, i was hoping for these groups at 200yds........any ideas on loads i should try ???
