[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2135234, member: 115658"] As simply stated by OP, only 546 rounds & normal wear. I would look first at the ammo, especially bullet run-out, neck tension, case length, & head-space (hopefully at shoulder). Inspect bullets looking for any abnormalities. I think the "carbon ring" stuff is sort of overblown to sell more solvents & cleaning stuff but give it a good overnight soak with some solvent or use some JB. Re check action screw tension (front real tight & others not so tight) & look for bedding issues like stock warping affecting free-floating barrel. The .300WM is a real barrel eater but @ only 546 rounds it should have much life remaining. [/QUOTE]
