[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2922919, member: 25831"] Yupp. On a hunting rifle, I don't care what the tenth shot of a 100 shot string does. Where is number one and may, hopefully not number two... When was the last time this barrel was cleaned back to bare steel? How fast are you shooting this CF barrel, mirage coming off the barrel makes mine open waaaay up after about five shots within 5 minutes. Any load development has had to be very slow to get good, true hunting type conditions. I have a 20" carbon fiber 308 Win and it doesn't like to shoot fast. Maybe the loads are a bit fast, if you reload, try lower velocity and see if it will group when you switch to the chassis. Also, try a lighter bullet. I love short barrels, but not convinced the 308 harmonics likes the short carbon, with the bigger pills, but I don't know nothing. Edit...also on the if it shot, why did they give it away wagon....
