[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 2479975, member: 88929"] I have rebarreled a dozen rifles and not a single one has ever shot over a 1" group. Even the first 5 shots which is through a clean bore each time has never been worse than a .75 I'm not knocking your smith at all but I feel something is not right. I often use factory ammo for break in so the fact that I know what load its probably gonna like before I shoot it is not a factor. Maybe I've just been lucky. Now all that said I had a custom rifle built by a very reputable barrel maker and I'll say up front it was no fault of there's but the custom action (also very reputable brand) I bought had a flaw in it. One I would not expect any smith to notice during assembly. I struggled with accuracy during break in and found the problem during brass prep on hand loads. Fixed the action and it was a sub .5 rifle as expected. Again maybe I've been lucky but after a dozen good ones I'm leaning towards a mechanical problem [/QUOTE]
