SOC, what are you using for a scale? Anything else you can credit for the consistency?

RCBS 505 beam scale
Rock Chucker press
RCBS Dies
Lee Factory Crimp Die

I toss a charge a little low and trickle it to what I want.

I really like the Lee Factory Crimp Dies and have noticed more consistent velocity and better accuracy when compared to standard crimp dies. (though not a fan of other lee products).

I think the RL 17 powder is forgiving and the Berger VLD hunting bullets are also very consistent.

Beyond that I mic my brass dimensions before loading and sort accordingly, check AOL and length to ogive of each round loaded ammo.

All my loads were on new Rem Brass.

I figured out my accuracy issue.

My Millet scope drifts around about 5 moa, confirmed by mounting on a known accurate rifle.

Sending it back.

Wish I had $ for the Night Force.

How about a Leopold or a Nikon?

Leopold is about the same cost as the Nightforce I'm looking at, Nikon doesn't have a similar product.

Looking at FFP, 5-25x or so scope illuminated in MOA adjustments and MOA reticle, 100 MOA of elevation adjustment is a plus.

I like the fast adjustments on the NF BEAST

Seriously, I wish I could have come up with the money for one of their 2.5-10x scopes, Nightforce that is. I've heard those things can take some amazing abuse and still keep going. I hear they have really good warranties and customer service as well.

Sorry to hear that your Millet took a dump.

I've had a few Millet products, I don't rely on them for serious work, fine for casual use, have sent most of my Millet stuff in for repair and they always seem to fix it for the $10 they ask for return shipping.

This Millet goes for about $500 new. I got it for $200.

Here is some powder I`ve been using.

I just got a crony a while back but I have not had the time to go and check My loads.
I have shot some of the handloads and they seemed to group in well at fifty yards with no signs of over or under pressure.
just thought I`d throw this out there for You.
Things is moving fast now.
