Just wanted to throw out my experience with A tips. I have shot about 10,000 rounds of A Tips in the last 2 years for PRS. Same load. Have a 6 GT. I've emailed Hornady to ask what they recommend for jump. They said between 10-30 though of jump. I've tested this in a bartlien, krieger, and osprey barrel. I can tell you this, they LOVE to be jumped. They always tighten up after 45 though jump. I jump between 50-110 though. Don't be afraid of big jumps. I also have a .170 freebore. You also get less vertical POI shift as your jump changes when you're out that far of a jump. I set at 60 though and leave it.
You could run a couple of foulers with some cheap brass and bullets just to eliminate the doubt whether or not a shot was clean-cold-bore or not. A-tips are expensive and don't wanna run them in a clean and cold barrel and get obscured results. Love your videos, please keep it up man!
I second this 👆. Should always run 2-3 warm up/fouler shots before doing load testing, especially with a clean barrel. I'll use crap factory ammo or reloads with Starline brass, FMJs, and powder that my barrel/brass/bullet combo didn't like
Just FYI , I prefer at least 25 foulers before a match or any kind of load testing. I load 100 rds. , practice the day before with 30 and shoot the other 70 at the match. ( mid range f-class) Cleaning every 100 rds. My data and scores are always more consistent this way. Maybe give this a try, and see if your ES and SD"s get more consistent. Also makes managing the brass easier as it's always 100 rd batches. Edit - 31.4 looks like the ticket! , and play with seating depth or tuner

Great groups.
It looks like 31 or 31.1 is where it wants to shoot. The shift to the left at 31.6 and falling apart at 32.1 would keep me out of that area.
