[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 610739, member: 10832"] I wouldn't start messing with screw torque and other intangibles yet. First deal with the known things that changed since your last shooting session. Specifically I would start with the lubed barrel and the hand loads. Both those things sound suspicious. I would clean the barrel well and start over with a good quality factory load or a load that you are positive shoots consistently well in that gun. If your barrel typically needs a few fouling shots to find its accuracy then do that and then start measuring groups. If there is anything else you changed since the last shooting session I would deal with those things first as well before going on to any of the other fixes. Scope, mounts, and rings would be my next move. HTH, Scot E. [/QUOTE]
