Phil, It has been shown that moderately oversized throats do not harm accuracy. Undersized is the problem.
You are loading 0.452" bullets, but only belling the case IDs to 0.450"? I don't see how you can even get them into the cases! You should be belling the case IDs to a few thousandths over 0.452" with the powder die, just before inserting the bullet.
