I dropped my powder charge to 24.0 grains which brought my velocity to 3048 FPS (sweet spot for my AR using this bullet). I also seated the bullet .070" deeper as suggested to 2.185."Two five shot groups shrunk to 7/8" and 3/4"

I would like to dismiss the size of my groups by attributing it to my lack of skill. I'm beginning to think it takes A LOT of skill to group under 3/4 MOA. Bench shooting is also not my forte. Practically speaking however, a solid 1 MOA gun is accurate enough as the shooter remains the primary limiting factor.
