[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1504367, member: 48043"] smelling like you have a possibility of a few different things going on... I'd first go through the rifle to make sure things are tight (my son's ra in 6.5 creed likes to loosen up and does so every 100 rounds or so; I just shaved a thread off the rear action screw to stop this crap the other day)… I'd swap scopes to make sure it hasn't loosened up... I'd also get away from boat tail bullets for a minute on this rifle; some mass produced rifles don't like boat tail bullets (my a-bolt 300win is one- so is my dad's remmy 7stw) and need to shoot flat based pills like the sierra pro hunter... most of this is a bit oversized bore and groove; it would also explain why your vel. is a bit down and it doesn't like a mono like the Barnes... something like the sierra 130gr pro hunter, rl22 or 4831 and a mag primer in good brass with a snugged up rifle with a good scope will shoot, or you may as well dump the rifle...
