[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1020897, member: 12995"] I had the same problem as the OP with a Mark V Accumark .257 Wby Mag I bought brand new in 2008. Shot great at first, then the barrel started caving in (apparantly) because after a couple hundred rounds the jag wouldn't hardly go down it, and the accuracy got HORRIBLE with factory fodder. With handloads it got around 1-1.5", which is what Wby guarantees (1.5"). I finally solved my problem on Saturday after several years of cursing, migraines, stress, and LOTS of money in quality ammo components... I traded that buzzard back in to where I bought it from new. It shot 1"-1.5" with handloads, and was accurate enough to put meat in my freezer every time I pulled the trigger on a deer, so, no I didn't feel bad about trading it. Your average Alabama hunter will never know the difference...Since most shots around here aren't longer than 150 yards. But I am incredibly OCD about my guns. Also, they offered me $1K in trade value for it, so I wasn't fixing to turn it down, since I only paid $1,350 for it brand new, back in 2008. :D [/QUOTE]
