[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1007881, member: 77249"] A gun 30 plus years old, A Weak Firing Pin Main Spring would be a possibility as a problem with a harder primer. I had a 50 year old 722 Remington that took a new main spring to bring it back to shooting sub inch groups. Shoot the gun through a chronograph and see if you get erratic velocity. I was working on a 700 Rem. 243 Win. It had shot good groups, The owner had it glass bedded, It had air pockets around the barrel in the bedding. Would not shoot as well as before. I took the bedding glass out and free floated the barrel. Loaded his load, but was out of Remington Primers, I used CCI 200 primers. It shot 1" to 1 1/4" groups. Went and bought a new brick of Rem 9 1/2, Same box of bullets, Same Can of Powder, Remington 91/2 Primers and it shot 5 shot groups at 100 yards that a dime would cover. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
