Very disappointed

You have ammo that has not been in a controlled environment since it was made. Some will stay sealed, the rest will either absorb or lose moisture. And you complain about ES for MV?
Did you also measure COAL and runout before shooting it?

Let's assume for a minute that everything is properly torqued in the ammunition you've built has no significant flaws.
Given the consistently poor performance and the horizontal stringing on your targets, the most likely problem is the loose nut behind the gun. Although the gear makes a difference in the hands of equally skilled shooter sometimes we really need to start with technique. You mentioned you were on a budget. It's my personal experience professional training will frequently yield a bigger benefit than any fooling around with a gun or the ammunition.
Are you shooting these groups prone? Or from a bench? What are you using for front and rear rests. What training have you had? I don't want to sound like a dick but you're asking questions about things that either don't matter at all or matter only in the margins.
You stated that you tend to go a Mile deep when you get into something. Crimping for example, is a mile deep into the wrong things. Perhaps you need to focus on Brilliance in the basics. In the long term it will save you a lot of money and will yield best results.

It’s entirely possible the issue is me.
I do wish I had a tall bipod… I have been shooting off of a portable shootings table, and bags… I’d rather shoot in the prone off the ground with a bipod.
I can tell you I know how to use bags and minimally influence the rifle, firing in the pause between breaths with a preference for the exhale, trigger pull is clean far as the whole dime on the muzzle thing every time I used to do that back in the day but I can recheck though this trigger is miles better than anything I used to use.
I MAY move my scope back a hair depending on how things are in the prone. I haven’t used a bipod or lead sled mostly because I’m trying to shoot as if I were shooting off a pack in the field.
For the purpose of eliminating myself though I can see if my buddy will let me borrow his sled. I will say I’m not a big fan of the reward blast of the muzzle brake. I have to make myself not close my eye as the trigger brakes and that’s frustrating and annoying. Enough so I have been thinking about taking it off.

Don’t use a lead sled. They are not good for your rifle and you will not shoot it like that. Get a bipod and use it.
As for the brake, they are loud. You just need to learn that nothing that is happening at the brake is going to hurt you behind the rifle and it’s just part of the firing process. If you are jerking anticipating the noise then that will definitely cause issues with accuracy. Maybe have someone else shoot the rifle and see.
