[QUOTE="vividus1, post: 1334392, member: 92951"] Hey all, I have an X-Bolt 26 Nosler that has about 50 rounds through it. Followed a basic break in procedure and shooting Double Tap ammo. Two bullets; Barnes LRX and Nosler Accubond. My issue is that the first group from a clean barrel is 1/2"-3/4", the second group is 2-3", then they all become basically flyers...group opens to 6-8" after only 6 shots. I am allowing plenty of time for the barrel to cool between each shot (typically 3-5 minutes). Same symptom for either bullet though the Barnes shoot the better clean barrel groups. Surely it's not just copper fouling causing the rapidly expanding groups, right? Each time I clean the bore and shoot, the same thing happens. Anybody have ideas? Should I send the gun back for warranty? Thanks for any help or ideas y'all can provide! [/QUOTE]
