[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 824210, member: 25383"] here's where I'd start, and it'll cost you less than five dollars to get all the stuff in hand. * put a strip of masking tape on the barrel, and mark a good stiff cleaning rod (like a Proshot) in one inch increments. Then run a very tight patch thru the barrel. Mark every place you find a tight spot, and the same with very loose spots (you may want to actually do this three or four times). If the barrel is looser(as in bigger bore) at the muzzle you will never shoot it well. Very tight places often deform the bullet in travel, but a loose muzzle will literally throw bullets like a shotgun. * Next thing I'd do is to check a half dozen or so of once fired cases that are unsized. Look for case run out and out of square shoulders and necks first. Next check the base for rim deformation. This can also be caused by the extractor * lastly; pull the barreled action from the stock and have a good look at the bedding under a strong light One poster suggested sending it back to Remington. That's a good start. Krieger doesn't do chamber jobs unless they just started. But Pacnor does. Pacnor even does a barrel nut conversion for Remingtons! gary [/QUOTE]
