Try the new bullets as mentioned, that might work.

Are you weighing the powder charge, checking that?

Part of me is saying, "Perfect is the enemy of good".

How are your loads doing with new brass, new powder, new bullets?

Take your mike and see what a fired reloaded round measures out before resizing, and compare it to the fired factory round before resizing, and then compare to a factory round. Shoulder, angle, neck length, etc.
