[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2135344, member: 25831"] I have had some Talley ring mounts come loose and not know it until I went to swap out the scope. It would not shoot very consistently. Strange things happen in this shooting voodoo we do. As mentioned, check all the torque on screws (if pillar bedded would expect it to be around 65 inch pounds). Clean the barrel back to bare steel. Focus on the throat as mentioned, short stroke it with JB, run a drill in it, whatever your process. Load up five rounds at .010" longer than your current load (this is a bit extreme, but they grow on big magnums). Then go out and with these five foul the bore. Then shoot normal load and see. I clean at regular intervals so I know the condition of the bore. I don't have a borescope, but I do clean the throat and have never had a problem with pressure spikes as some folks do. It also assists with ruling one of the many things out when things change... Interested on your findings. [/QUOTE]
