[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 2075067, member: 40852"] Regarding the original factory barrel - it originally shot very good as in 1/3" 3-shot groups. The pattern was more of a scatter than a 2-then-1 thing. I currently get a scatter pattern now but it seemed to be more the 2-then-1. It performed very well until this summer when groups started to open up. I would clean the barrel and it would shoot 'okay' for a while and groups would open up again. So I decided the barrel must be toast after about 1000 rounds. When I tried a different bullet I used a Sierra 55 gr Gameking. It's one I use in the .223 that does well. In hindsight I wish I would have tried a different weight bullet. I was looking through my bullet boxes and i have some 52 gr Matchking and 50 gr Blitzking. The gun is at the gunsmith so he can look it over. He's usually very busy so it will be a while before I get it back. [/QUOTE]
