Shamu ; Have you tried shooting without the flash hider , I have a couple rifles (Weatherby and a Remington ) that group better without the muzzle brakes. Could be the harmonics of the barrel with extra weight.
My no.4 mk1 carbine ,21" barrel, looks similar to yours ,without the flash hider , I use 150 gr. Sierra's and group 1 1/4-1 1/2 " at 100 yds. Using 174 gr. Woodleigh for hunting round , heavy brush, grouping 1 - 1 1/4" at 50-yds.
150-gr Sierra IMR- 4895 44-gr. 2515 fps
174-gr Woodleigh IMR-4895 42-gr <2400> fps
