[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1416365, member: 10178"] I cleaned the bore good. I went back and re-mounted the scope completely. Removed the shims and torqued the Burris base to 60 inch pounds and ring screws to 20 inch pounds like the instructions say. I went back to the range and fired 3 shots at 25 yards to get on paper and then went to 100 yards. I fired from a front press with rear bag on a solid benchrest set up. I fired the first shot and it was on the target so I did not adjust any but just wanted to see if it would group. SAME OLD 5" GROUP. Sent BCA a fax of my invoice from Primary Arms that they requested when I called them last Friday 3-2-18 and they said that they would send me a UPS pick up ticket. I have not gotten the ticket yet. After the mail runs today if the pick up ticket does not come I will be calling BCA again. I am really getting PO'd with BCA. By the way I was firing the upper using my Bushmaster lower that has a 3 lb CMC trigger in it. After I shot this Grendel I took my beater AR 223 Anderson lower with military 6lb trigger and Stoner A4 upper that has a cheap weaver 3-9x32 scope on it and fired a 7/8" 5 shot group at 100 testing a new load with 55 gr Hornady sp with RL7 powder so it AIN'T the problem with the shooter it is the BCA upper. I suspect the crown on the barrel is screwed up. [/QUOTE]
