[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 1976317, member: 115070"] I’ve put thousands of rounds down the tube of my .300 Wby. Mine likes H-4831SC with 215GM primers and a 180 TTSX bullet. It did take a while to find the right recipe. Great performance too on everything from steenbok to moose and eland. Mine is in a recently rebarreled Wby factory tube with a ridiculous amount of freebore. When I do my part, it’ll do just over 0.500” at 100 yards, but 5-shot groups open up when the barrel gets hot. As others have said, before you get too worked up, take a closelook at everything else - scope, mounts, technique, etc. I never got factory ammo to shoot all that well (+/- 1 MOA), so that might be contributing. Besides, that stuff is EXPENSIVE. Be careful what you use to clean the barrel. It’s an old saying that more barrels have been ruined than improved by overzealous attempts at getting them spotless. A bit of carbon after a few shots isn’t unusual, but it should clean out easily. One final thing - I’ve had plenty of issues with “new” scopes before. Break it down and work the problem. I very much doubt it’s the barrel. [/QUOTE]
