[QUOTE="260remingtom, post: 1189771, member: 94237"] About 18 years ago I bought a new old stock 308 cal parker hale match barrel, and it did a similar thing ,it was a real hummer for accuracy and almost every service match that I used it in I won, till I shot it out.(a sad Day) when I first fitted it I noticed that if the barrel was cleaned with sweets 7.62 or hoppies No9 it didn't matter, the first shot always shot 2moa low but all shots after it were bang in the bull unless I stuffed up, I left the barrel for a week uncleaned(as a one off experiment) and it didn't drop the first shot, so it liked the fouling!!!!! when I bed all my rifles I do not extend the bedding compound more that a 1/4 of an inch beyond where the barrel screws into the receiver as I have found that you get POI changes as the barrel heats up, and have had people bring me rifles to rebarrel and bed that didn't shoot or had the problems that you are talking about on the thread. I would go back and remove the excess bedding under the barrel and try it out again [/QUOTE]
