I'm having trouble getting the 178gr AMAX to 2600 with Varget, Federal match case, and Win LR primer. Also, the velocity spread is rather large, on the order of 40 fps. I'm hand-weighing each charge to .10 precision, so it isn't varying powder charges...I'm wondering if bullet pull is a factor.
All of that is largely irrelevant, except for the primer, which I do not like.

On the ammo side, case prep is the key to consistent accuracy.
