The barrel heating up can cause flyers, especially this time of year. Is your rifle bedded? You might want to vary your bullet seating depth with those same powder charges to see if that will improve your groups.

Lots of guys start about .010" off the lands of the rifling and seat the bullet deeper until they find their optimal COL. Hornady makes a tool to measure bullet distance to the rifling. Just be aware that the further you seat the bullet inside of the case, the internal pressure will rise. Also, bullet contacting the lands when fired will also cause pressure spikes.
