Problem solved! So I went through and sized what I had left for fired brass. First annealed it, then I went through and sized it just enough until it would chamber and eject fine. I then loaded various charges from 41 to 45 grains of Varget. Not a single overpressure sign! So I was sizing too much.
I should also note that as I stepped up in charge my groups shrank. My worst group was 1.22" (only group over 1") and my best ended up at .662". Much more consistent than my last batch. These were only three round groups, so I'm sure they would open up a bit with five round s instead of three. At $37 a box, it gets expensive in a hurry doing load development.
