Help! How does this crown look?

Gray fox,

I’m not sure of the specific chamber. I’ve tried 120/123 eld-m’s, 123SST’s, 123smk’s 130RDF’s and 120TTSX’s with TAC, Leverevolution, 8208xbr and blc2. I’ve gotten nice 5 shot single digit SD’s with 123 grainers.

I’ll work up a load in .3g/.4g increments and shoot until I see pressure which seems to be ejector marks with the Grendel more so than super flat primers. I’ll generally find at least one node and reload zoomed in that area. The problem is I’ll get to the range with loads in the sweet spot and they shot terribly as if I’m using a different batch/lot of everything which makes me want to pull my hair out.

Example: in the link below I had a good 120 Eldm load from a previous work up. The two upper left groups I shot to confirm came out like hot garbage. Also, in the new work with 123sst’s one would assume I found a node between 27.7 and 28.1 right? Similar tight grouping and POI. Next time out I shot in that range in .1g increments and all loads in that rang were junk.....averaging 1.25”. This doesn’t make sense and for what it’s worth the bottom 4 groups are store bought 123ELDm’s
