A 1 in 9 twist is fine for 105's.
"...over 40 gr of H4350..." That's 2.5 grains over max for a 105.
"...2.84 and 2.785 oal..." Too long. 2.710" is the max OAL.
Did you work up the load or just pick a few and hope? You must work up the load using data from a manual. Are you shooting off a solid bench rest? Had a trigger job done?
Mind you, A-Max bullets are rumoured not to be as accurate as they should be for a match grade bullet(not made for hunting anything but varmints).
