[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2325848, member: 117774"] i thought I had an issue with a shillen match barrel years ago. After the break in, I put 50 rounds down range and no group was less than 1 1/4". I took it back to the custom shop for an inspection, the gunsmith found nothing wrong with the barrel. Back to the range and another 50 rounds of various bullets, powder, brass, primer and seating depths were tried. This time, a couple of groups printed under an inch. PROGRESS. At about 150 rounds, nearly all groups were now under and inch. At 200 rounds, groups shrank to 1/2" - now, I was happy. Apparently, there was a flaw near the muzzle that wore down and took 200 rounds to do so. For the last 1000 rounds, this 300 WSM has printed 3/4" 5 shot groups religiously. [/QUOTE]
