Welcome to the forum.
Lapua Scenars have a secant ogive, so they are less likely to contact the lands that close to the neck, but do transition well through the initial shallow leade.
My most accurate loads have been from Precision Firearms with the 123gr Scenar, with a 7fps Extreme Spread on top of that.
Try a Hornady 123gr SST factory load when you can get one.
If you plant to keep the barrel, it actually might shoot that load very well, but you also will want to see how much jump there is with that bullet in your chamber. If there is only a few thousandths of jump, it will build pressure faster into the peak of the pressure curve.
