Looks like you lucked out and got a good shooting barrel. Mine is shooting better the more I shoot it, it has over 100 rounds through it now. I got to shoot some of the 130 Sierra Game Kings with LVR 30.0, 30.5 & 30.9 grs and they all shot right around 1 1/2" for 5 shots @ 100. 30.9 was a little warm. I am going to experiment some around 30.5 grs. May change primer and seating depth and see if it helps. I may have to give the 123 ELD-M a try because it can still be used reliably on deer many are saying. I know the old Amax bullets worked great on deer in most any caliber.
