Play with seating depth till you find what it likes. Then play with powder charge

I’ve personally had great results with the Berger seating depth test.   Seat each bullet .030” deeper.  Use a known safe charge.  Which ever groups best use that to find max charge with decent group. Then fine tune seating depth with .005” increments

Either.005” off or .010” Jammed is often where I start

Those Rat *censored*s shut down pretty much the entire east side for steelhead! I had to resort to tying up worm harnesses and luckily my buddy was out too to loan me some bottom walkers and worm. Wound up catching a bunch of perch, only one walleye, a bunch of bass, a catfish, and believe it or not a pretty nice bluegill in 35’ of water on a worm harness
