[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1423189, member: 2736"] I would simply go back to the original load that shot well and try it. This should tell you if it is the rifle or not. If it doesn't shoot well with the original load, something has moved, shifted or gone out of specifications. I would start over with first cleaning the bore to white metal, then re bed the action. next, bed your scope bases and after all of this is done, go back and try the original load that shot so well. Rifles don't normally damage a barrel with 2 or 3 shots, and unless the pressures are very high actions are rarely damaged or the lugs set back,so generally something changed in the attachments that could change the accuracy. It is a detecting process to find out what changed, and it will take patience and test to identify where the problem is. take them one at a time and you should find your problem. We can make suggestions of all sorts, and you will still have to find it yourself or take it to a qualified gunsmith for his help. This happens all the time to us and we just have to deal with it the best we can. My recommendation is not to over think the problem and start with the simple things that can be changed first and work up to the more costly solutions. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
