[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1772917, member: 24284"] You haven't enough lathe for what you are trying to do. You didn't dial-in close enough. The goal is to within tenths. You have too much run-out at .0012". That is not "good enough" for a hunting rifle. What about the load you are using? Many times, a barrel can be finicky. Try a different load. Try a different bullet. Try a different primer. So far, you have only blamed the barrel. There is far, far more to an accurate rifle than the barrel. True, a real 'shooter' won't be built using a defective barrel, but neither will it be a 'shooter' with a poor stock, trigger, scope mounts, ammo the barrel doesn't like or anything else. At 25yds. those bullets should be making just 1 ragged hole. You don't say how you are shooting either. Off of a rest? Using a Lead Sled or a bi-pod? Lots and lots of variables to consider here, not just the barrel. [/QUOTE]
