[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 555581, member: 2736"] +1 I find the same thing . Lighter barrels require more load develoupment most of the time than heaver barrels. This does not mean that light barrels won't shoot, just that they are more sensitive to Bullet weight and re loader componants. It is a shame that a build goes bad but it does happen . I personally have had one that I would not give up on and had loaded over 300 different loads. (Hard Headed) trying to come up with something exceptable. After taking it apart, I discovered what was wrong. It had a bad barrel and a terrible fluting Job. I changed barrels and blueprinted the action my self and now it is one of the best shooters I have. I To recomend that you let the smith have a chance to make it right and put a new barrel on it because most barrel makers are interested in the quality and reputation of there barrels and will work with him to fix your rifle.(If he sends the barrel back, they will test it and if it got through quality control out of spec. they will replace it at no cost to the Smith. One observation though that might help you is = If the rifle is stringing vertical or horizontal it may not be the barrel. Most of the time it if bedding or trigger control. If a barrel shoots loose groups in a round pattern It is bullet related or a poor quality barrel. Again; sorry you are having this trouble. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
