[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 458469, member: 13833"] If you can actually see marks at the crown, chances are, that is the problem. Your factory twist should be plenty for that bullet. When you clean, get a quality one piece rod (like a carbon fiber tipton) use a bore guide, always clean from the receiver end, do not drag the patch back through the muzzle. In general, be "very careful with the muzzle end". At this point since you think you can see damage and your groups apparently opened up after cleaning, I would take it to a gunsmith and have him inspect it. If it is damaged near the end of the muzzle, he can trim the barrel back and re-crown. You would be surprised how many people damage their rifles in the cleaning process. Don't feel bad! Just learn from it. Good luck and let us know what you find......Rich [/QUOTE]
