[QUOTE="bigbrother, post: 428498, member: 1813"] JL3216, My 6.5x284 has a 28"Douglas barrel but shoots similar results at 100yds. Consistently .4 to .6. My smith told me when he built it that it probably wouldn't shoot much better than that at 100 but not to worry because it would shoot under 1" at 300. I ran into the same issues as you during my barrel break in. Then I remembered what he had said and took it to the range to shoot it at extended range. I don't worry about my 100 yard groups much anymore with the gun because my gun shoots .8 at 300 and will stay at 1 1/2" at 500yds if I do my part. Past that, it puts the first shot into a deer's boiler room as far as I've ever tried to shoot one. That's what is important to me. As a side note, I run H1000 in mine although everyone says H4831 is the way to go. My barrel shot tighter groups running H1000. [/QUOTE]
