[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 586051, member: 2736"] Factory barrels are notorious for being finicky. Sounds like the lands and grooves are fine so just try different loads. Start with one load and have different primers then try the best primer and different bullets(Don't get tricky with seating depths) seat to magazine length - .020. repeat the process with different powders @ approximately the same velocity using the best bullet and primer you found. This should get you a reasonable load to work with and change one thing at a time while you are fine tuning the load. Clean between each test load so they are in the same conditions(Cool Clean Barrel). If it is a sporter weight barrel, #3 or smaller you may have to place a small amount of tip pressure between the barrel and stock. (Poster board, cracker box, ETC) Don't give up. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
