Bullet seating is important and not doing so can change your POI. Marking your ramrod is a good move for a quick visual to ensure it is home everytime. At the range I would swab between each shot with a solution (windex, carwash fluid, etc) followed by dry patchs. This will help elimante fouling problems mentioned above, although personally I have not seen them in my rem.

Equally Ml are individuals (may say finky) they like certain things, so what might work for me won't work for others. So I would try tweaking your load and trying some different bullets with different combos, in the end you'll find the right one that produces the results you expect. I have a number of friends shooting different ML's, have found everything from bullet, powder and primer preferences that once the key was discovered untapped the potential of the gun. Long and short only way is to blow lots of smoke trying anything and everything you can think of, talking to those with similar Ml's can narrow that choice some though.

Good Luck
