[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2135295, member: 64108"] When did the 300WM become a barrel burner ?? Scrub the throat and 1st two inches with some JB then foul the bore and check your groups. Look at your crown or a loose muzzle brake, even barrels have come loose. Obviously something is out but I doubt the barrel is shot out. I recently rebarrelled a friend's that started missing the target at 100 yards, bore scope found a bulge in the barrel near the end, you could feel it with the cleaning rod also. the bullet lost contact with the rifling(where the copper fouling stops) and would contact again about an inch further down. Must have got something stuck in it. have even seen a mud wasp clog a barrel up. [ATTACH type="full"]256754[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]256755[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
