Default RE: reloading a 300 Ultra-Mag

Guys my problem is much the same as some of the other guys. My 70 Classic Stainless has a magazine length which puts the bullet at least .2 inches from the lands. I think this is the source of my problems. I have been 180 Sciroccos with mixed results. 96 gr. of RL 25 gave me a .5 inch group once but never since. That one still buffaloes me.
Does anyone have experience with a faster powder like say RL22 in a gun with a min. magazine length. Will it change things any?
With pressure down and velocity around 3050 the gun will shoot 1 inch groups all day long. But when you increase velocity to published ranges things go awry. Any suggestions?
