If I am reading the below correctly
" The loads I shot today were Sierra 40gr BK's and 35gr V-Max's. Still not shooting bug holes, but was getting three shots touching at 100yds. The Sierra's were performing best at 200yds giving around 1.75" to 2" groups with no fliers."
It indicates to me you are scope limited at 200 yards. A group with three touching at 100 yds ( under 1/2" ? ) should be right at 1" at 200 yards if you can see the target as well at 200 as at 100 yds...
Either you are scope limited or the bullets aren't very stable.
Congrats on the shooting, 3 touching is close enough to "bug hole groups" for the most part.

Re: New 221 Fireball
Bug holes, or all in one hole is great. But I am just as happy if they touch each other, as you mention. 
Nothing at all wrong with that type of grouping Bill K
