[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 696069, member: 53101"] Thanks Jeff i think you may have nailed it. I went out this morning and decided to try a couple different things with the Ammo that seemed most promising, the Fusion 150gr. I cleaned the barrel good as I always do with hops #9 solvent, then Break Free CLP, then dry patches. I decided not to shoot sitting from my sand bags and instead grabbed one of the ranges cheap plastic rifle rest and shot standing behind the bench from it ( not nearly as stable as my bags ). Any how, I did three shots at 5 min intervals, hand loaded, and ran a patch with Break Free up and down the barrel between shots. ~ .6" group with the flyer being along the vertical from most likely the barrel heating. Then I cleaned my barrel, BS'd with people 30 min, fired a shot to dirty the barrel then fired a quick 5 round group from my sand bags sitting like I normally do ~ 1 3/4". Must confirm if it is my shooting position or the cold clean barrel by repeating this next week changing shooting rests for the Cold Clean barrel shots. If it seems to be the barrel it needs to go back to the Manufacturer IMO, if it is me shooting from the bags I will have to figure out a way to bed the recoil lug and action screws I guess to keep everything tight and inline for the recoil. here are the groups: [IMG]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12993&stc=1&d=1347734171[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
