Loads for Lee 50 REAL Bullet

Does anyone have a favorite load for the 240gr Lee REAL bullet?
I tried 80 and 90 grs of shockley powder and couldn't get any consistant grouping. I didn't think I'd duplicate my sabot round (hornady with 240gr XTP with 90 Gr) but had hoped for a 3 to 4" group I could work with and refine with more range time. I used a brush after every 3rd or fourth shot. Do the primers matter? I was using CCI 209s. I don't think the lube would matter, but I'll ask if the lube makes a big difference?
