[QUOTE="mountaincarver, post: 1192352, member: 87809"] Thank you for the replies. OK, I took the gun out and basically went through some load testing. the gun shot as good as it ever has (1.25 inch 200 yards) after reducing the powder charge by quite a bit. I never moved the bullet. basically what I ended up with is a node (with 230 bergers) at 2908 fps instead of 3000 fps with 5 more grains of powder (H50). cant seem to get the gun to shoot accurately at the fast speed it used to but...... anyway, I don't know what exactly the correct terms to use for this situation, but something has definitely changed whether it be called wearing out or breaking in. I'm glad it worked out this way instead of a worthless gun sitting around. [/QUOTE]
