[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 471166, member: 25383"] I bought a new .223VS a few years back that shoot real nice 4" groups with hand loads. No matter what I did, a little over 4" was about it. Folks said I was the problem, and took it out to see what they could do with it. A couple weeks later I get a call asking me how I managed to shoot 4.25" groups with it? Did a chamber cast as well as a complete barrel chart. The chamber was reamed .007" off center, and to add insult at roughly a 7 degree angle to the bore. The barrel was so rough that it tore up patches! But even worse was the fact that Remington never deburred that reciever after machining! The bolt was seating on a very large burr (.06" to .07"). I should have sent it back to Remington, but took the task into hand. Ended up with a 20" barrel that shoots in the low fours and high threes. I lost about 75fps in velocity. This was my last Remington, and will be my last. gary [/QUOTE]
