[QUOTE="joseph, post: 855456, member: 19151"] I stand corrected guys. I have tried to get my Winchester Coyote .243 WSSM to shoot accurate and the best I could do was 5/8" 5 shot groups. The only way it would shoot that good was to put a lot of pressure on top of the scope. I have also read in a shooting magazine (with pictures) where people were screwing kitchen cabinet door handles under their forearms to pull down on when shooting. I shot out a .243 Douglas match barrel in 3,000 rounds. I cut the barrel in half length wise to see what was wrong and found out the rifling was completely burnt out for the first 8 inches past the chamber. When that .243 was new it would shoot 5 shot 1/4" consistently. When I cut the barrel in half it was only shooting 3/4" groups. I guess that wasn't to bad since it had an eight inch free bore. I did call the factory about the WSSMs and they told me that every barrel that left them was chrome plated because of the burning of the inside of the barrels past 500 rounds. I am glad you are getting such good shooting WSSMs. If you have a barrel with 2,000 rounds through it have it cut in half lengthwise to see how long the free bore is. I think it will amaze you. joseph [/QUOTE]
