[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 904478, member: 30902"] Since it's a new custom rifle I'd talk to the maker. Your problem may well be overly tight action screws. Try backing them off to about 40 in/lbs. More importantly though that 9 twist may just not quite be enough to stabilize the Bergers. Most of the people I know of shooting them in a .260 or other 6.5 have either 1-8 or 1-8.5 twist barrels. I'd probably try the accubonds or sirocco's and see if they'll group better for you. Is there a consistency to which shot of your four shot groups is the flier? Is there a significant shift in POI after your cold bore shot? Have you followed the Mfg's recommended break in and cleaning program? [/QUOTE]
