[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 1188864, member: 2567"] LRT307, I went and shot this morning with a dirty barrel. 1st 3 shots were rl33 and 300 gr accubond, 1.5 inch group about 1 inch high of the bull. Then I shot a group with 4 Federal Factory 225 accubonds. They are seated very short, like 3.6, about a 1 inch group, best these have ever shot from this barrel. Then I shot 3 bergers with 90 gr of H-1000, the barrel was pretty warm, they all hit about 2 inches low and strung right to left about 3 inches. Worst group that load has ever done. I went home and only cleaned the carbon from the barrel, I left the copper. If I have time in the morning I want to shoot a few shots just to compare. I am ready to start seating closer to the lands, I remeasured and the Bergers are .225 off the lands, the accubonds are .145 off the lands. The sad part is, something has changed. None of my old proven loads are working. I am hoping my barrel isn't toast. I might have you drop off the gun to Trevor and have him give it a look. [/QUOTE]
