If 1/2 inch groups arent doing it for you then the next step is like becoming a benchrest focused shooter. This means things like only top end Lapau or Norma brass, each one weighed and checked for interior case volume, add to this a case neck thickness cocentricity gauge and further sorting of the brass. Primers for sure make a difference as do match grade bullets but pretty much beyond that it gets into spending money to upgrade the firearm unless you are starting out with bencrest quality stuff . Wringing out an additional 1/4 inch off those 1/2 inch groups can be tedious and time consuming and of course more spendy. All the best in your endeavors,,,,,,
