Depends on your chamber. Clymer says the freebore is 0.075" on their match reamers, 0.090" on their standard SAAMI reamer, and 0.150" on their 7.62×51 reamers. That makes a difference. Lots of guns shoot just fine with some bullet jump, though.

In your shoes, I would back down to a starting load and run through Berger's exercise for VLD's for hunters rather than target shooters (you're not going to jam the lands loading from a magazine anyway). Load singly and see if you don't find a better COL for your chamber?
