[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2902573, member: 10755"] Long throats and large jumps do not, by themselves, cause large groups. There is something else going on here, and I suspect bedding of the action being the issue. Do this, loosen the rear bolt slightly, shoot a group, snug it back up, shoot a group…if anything changes, it is bedding. To verify, do the same to the front bolt, exactly as the previous test, if anything changes doing the front bolt, you definitely have an issue, oh, is the barrel free floated? Is the magazine binding when the action bolts are snugged? There is an issue, but not with the barrel per se’, if it groups with no fliers, then the issue lies elsewhere… Check everything, scope bases/rings, trigger touching stock, bolt handle touching stock etc… Cheers.
