[QUOTE="Remhunter, post: 2074702, member: 116795"] I’ve experienced that exact same thing many times. Typically it is with thin pencil barreled rifles. Had a Remington 700 Mountain Rifle chambered in .280 and after 2 shots the third would always be a flyer due to the barrel heating so much. Could not shoot 3 rounds groups with that gun, but that gun was not intended for that. In other rifles it was caused by loads the gun didn’t like or improper torque on receiver screws. I would check torque on the receiver screws, make sure the barrel is free floating, and then if those don’t work change the load. I have talked to many people that rebarrel and go to their pet loads and they don’t shoot them. Changing the barrel absolutely changes the gun. [/QUOTE]
