[QUOTE="netman, post: 1420300, member: 70875"] So today I had a glimmer of hope. I loaded up some rounds with IMR 4831 with the 123 Scenar bullet. Had a vertical string group about a 1.5-1.75”. I bumped the load up .2 and got two in one hole and one to the right about a inch. The off hole was a bad trigger break. The trigger has to be 6 lbs or so. So I leave the rifle on the range and walk back up to my shop and load three more rounds exactly the same as before. Three good shots and I had a horizontal group about two inches across. I stopped for the day. This morning I loaded up several rounds using the 129 SST. There was a little hope there too. I scrub the barrel really good after 7-10 firings. It appears the rifle does its best really clean . The fouler round goes high then the rest fall into a double ought buck pattern under the fouler. I annealed a couple handfuls of brass and that seemed to help. I’m going to check the stock and bolt torque tomorrow. I noticed the front of the stock is touching the barrel. It was touching before I sent it back to Remington. I wanted to see if the addressed that and they did not. Go figure! In between shots today I found a good article from this site about what to look for when you have vertical strings. The article was from a famous bench rest shooter. I realize my trigger is a big issue. So is my stock. Not sure how much pressure the stock is putting on the barrel. I’m not a quitter but this rifle has convinced me Remington is going bankrupt for a reason. [/QUOTE]
