[QUOTE="jmden, post: 847665, member: 1742"] I have wondered if there's a barrel change as the same issue came up when I used a reduced load of an older lot of Retumbo as a test yesterday. So two different lots of Retumbo from two different 8lb jugs purchased 3 years apart or so, the newest purchased last fall and each showing significant pressure at reduced loads that should be very pedestrian and have proven to be in the past for this rifle. The odd thing is this barrel was shooting well 3.5 months ago, sat in the safe and the loads seem to have changed significantly even after doing a thorough cleaning. I have not used abrasive cleaners on my barrel. Just BoreTech Eliminator (do use brass brushes as I've talked to folks who scope a barrel after using nylon brushed and then compare to using brass brushes and say theres a quite a difference) and then a pass with gun oil and then patch dry. More to it than that, but that's the basics. [/QUOTE]
