[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1324551, member: 38154"] In post #7 you say you are using Butch's Bore Shine and brass brushes? Not sure if you are getting the bore really clean, the Butch's is probably dissolving the brass brush. Are you cleaning until you get a patch with no blue on it? Also, I would not use Butch's then follow up with Hoppes until you get the Butch's out first. Mixing the solvents might not be good. You are using 2 lightly oiled patches as the last step, make sure you push a dry patch down the barrel before you shoot the first shot, the oil in the bore could be changing your point of aim too. I was having trouble with my.340 acting similar, putting two shots together, then another two shots elsewhere usually vertical stringing. Turned out to be the powder I was using, R22. I switched to R19, and am now getting constant tight groups well under minute of angle. [/QUOTE]
