[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 554868, member: 313"] Just for the heck of it I'd try a box of quality factory ammo. This would eliminate any chance of a reloading induced accuracy problem. After that, at least one of the rifles would be headin' back to the smith for an evaluation and test firing. I had a similar problem with a custom .223 which just would not shoot any bullet under .5moa consistently. Occasionally, but not consistently. The smith re-bedded the rifle and test fired it at the shop. Three different loads shot sub .5moa for the smith and targets were returned with the rifle. It has shot great ever since. [/QUOTE]
