[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1872758, member: 26227"] WesG93, since I have gotten in this late I will try not to repeat what someone else has said.. but I have low hopes of that. first I would look at the lot numbers on the ammo, one of the flaps will have a lot number on it. if they are different then the mystery is solved. this happens a lot. Different lots have different powder and things go sideways. second is the scope rings and bases. sometimes they loosen up. third is the gun shifts in the stock and that causes more weird problems that I can describe here. plastic stock or fiber-glass? Plastic stocks sometimes just deform for some reason and impinge on the barrel in some way this tosses off accuracy big time. next is copper and powder fowling. I suggest a good copper cleaner like Wipe-Out/Patch Out or Montana X-treme bore solvent W/ Montana X-treme Copper Killer. then a good carbon cleaner like Bortech C4. I use a myriad of cleaners, bore solvents, and carbon removers depending on severity. the most severe is the J-B bore paste that is for the worst case scenarios. Yes, I have had some "worst case" guns come in. if none of this works. I have one question for you: does the rifle string? shot the first round then the next several shoot off in a line ever farther off the first round's impact? I had a few guns do this. the barrels for some reason went bad. a real mystery was they were tac-drivers for a few hundred rounds then the barrels developed a bad problem of bending as they heated up. it was the weirdest phenomenon I have seen in 20 years of being a gunsmith.
