[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2339206, member: 92604"] I'm going to agree with this guy and the others who say check the bedding. I worked with a x bolt hells canyon LR in 30 nosler the last 2 years, first worked up a load with 210 ablr for 2020 season. Struggled to get it to group very well. Ran out of those bullets and started with the 190 ablr this year still not great and inconsistent. I loaded a few with some 178 eldx and some 200 grand slam I had on hand. After taking rifle apart I felt it was binding and difficult to remove from stock, screws would not rotate freely either. Bedding was minimal, barrel was free floated and centered. I suggested to the owner that I could rebed it and he said ok. So I cut some 3/8 stainless tuning to act as pillars and glued them in with JB weld, hogged out a lot of the bedding material and rebedded with acraglass gel that I had(use what you prefer). The stock front action screw only engaged a couple threads from the start so also got a longer Rem 700 screw for it. Shooting the test loads I made before the bedding job and they were all grouping nicely, less than an inch. Then started with the 190 ablr again and ended with rem 9.5m primers and h4831, 5 shots into a fat hole at 100yds. Verified with more rounds loaded same using fired cases and new cases and they both shot same place. [/QUOTE]
