[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 567712, member: 8"] First thing is to check to see if you have developed a carbon ring. If so use Iossa or JB paste to get it out. Second thing is to reduce the powder charge below max and jam the bullet and see how that works. Find a charge that the bullet likes while jammed and then start backing out or do it vice versa. I shoot a lot of RL22 but I bought 16 pounds of the same lot so I do not have to worry about lot variation. Thirdly, if possible, find a bench to shoot from and a rock steady front and rear rest and test your loads from it. And I would do what you did with the scope base but with the action this time. Loosen the screws slowly and see if the action is torqued in the bedding and then tighten them back up slowly checking barrel channel clearance. You may have said you already have done this and if so disregard this. You can also check to see if the bolt is actually locking down or is instead making contact with the stock and never reaching full lock. Finally as was mentioned no rifle will shoot better than the guy on the trigger so do not expect to shoot better than normal. [/QUOTE]
