[QUOTE="RCMSTER, post: 2459022, member: 54689"] When I bought this rifle new, it drove me crazy. I can’t remember how many bullet/powder combinations I tried, and it just aggravated me. I let it set for a couple of months, then was ready to go again. I spent about 5 hours one day just cleaning it. I’d use Butch’s Bore shine, then Montana Extreme. I alternated between the 2 for 3 cycles each, then said ok, if this dang thing won’t shoot this time, I’ll just rebarrel it. Well, it shot like a house afire. 3 remington core-lokts into a half inch about every time, but it wouldn’t shoot 116 grain hammers worth a hoot, and that’s what I wanted to shoot, so I rebarreled it with an 8 twist, as opposed to the 10 twist it had, so that’s where I’m at. It’ll shoot at some point. I just have to get the combo right. But I would’ve preferred to be able to seat the hammers a bit longer. [/QUOTE]
