Try partial neck sizing only and free float the barrel. I have never seen a rifle shoot "worse" due to free floating. Remove the barreled action from the stock and then try playing with the torque on the action screws. Always torque the front screw first. I run between 35-50 inch lbs on the front and generally about 10 inch lbs less on the rear depending on the rifle. It's been my experience that accuracy nodes fall in the middle and then again on the upper end of the data charts. That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to start working up the ladder with your powder loads. Check the crown on the barrel, one little nick or burr can also cause grief. Make sure to adjust the parralex on the scope if so equipped or try changing to a different scope that you positively know holds it's zero. Best of luck.........
