I think I might be missing something here.
If your rifle is shooting a 2" group at 100 yards whether through a scope or the iron sights, it is doing exactly as it should be doing and more so.

 
A 2" group on the NRA Official SR-1 target puts every shot well inside the 10 ring and is considered very respectable shooting. If you are upset that the rifle is putting its 174grn projectiles in a 2" group, you are going to be even more disappointed to find out the 150grn projectiles are going to produce the same size group more or less. 
Again, I might be missing something here but it seems to me that you are upset about nothing to put it bluntly. The Lee-Enfield left the factory if it could put 7 out of 9 shots inside a 4" square ⬛ at 100 feet. The M47C rifles got scopes on them if they shot a tad better.



100 yards through the iron sights on an old Long Branch No4MkI* I owned...

it will shoot 2 inches with greek ammo that i tried from a friends stash.with reloads its probably 5 which im still working on. where should i be velocity  wise on the 150s
