[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 690396, member: 24624"] It sounds like you have a pretty decent load. But, the factory barrel just isn't as well stress-relieved as you would expect from a good custom barrel. And if that's the case, then a new barrel is the best solution. Nonetheless, that should not be a problem for many big game hunting situations. Bedding/floating rarely hurts, but it probably won't help if your first 3 shots are always good. You might simply allow more time to cool between shots. I'll leave it at that. Perhaps someone else will go through the list of all things you can check to be sure it's not the action, stock, scope/mounts, shooter, ammo, etc. -- richard [/QUOTE]
