[QUOTE="MoreSalsa, post: 2666830, member: 120766"] Yeah it's not a SS barrel. I have just been using a nylon brush with the BoreTech products. I could step it up to the brass brush and see how that does, and go to a SS brush if that doesn't seem to make a difference. I took it to the longer range yesterday and tried at 200 and 300 yards. Accuracy was worse at the longer distances. At 100 yards, it seemed to be shooting around 2 to 2.3 MOA , just based on 9 rounds (one 4 shot group, one 5 shot). At 200 yards it seemed to be more like 2.5 to 3 MOA (4 or 5 shots groups). At 300 yards, I shot 6 shots that were at 3.5 MOA. A lot of variables as I was cleaning and adjusting the scope, and the groups were broken up by ceasefires at the range and cleaning sessions, with the wind changing a bit, though I don't think there was much wind over 5 mph. I was hoping to tighten up the groups from the quick 100 yard session, but that didn't seem to be happening. All of this is 47 rounds through the new barrel. If anyone has any feedback please let me know. It's old Remington Core Lokt ammo, and maybe it's me but different rounds seem to give noticeably different feedback in the gun, so I wonder if there is charge variance. I noticed one round had a different colored primer than the others. Maybe I'm doing something different from shot to shot. I'll be trying some different factory ammo in it in the coming weeks (some Hornady Super Performance and Barnes TTSX (the 180 grain variety). Hoping they shoot better and I can call it an ammo issue.
