[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2386424, member: 118876"] I can tell you this, I put a Mauser 98 together this year, it's been about 10 years since I built one, and I was having the same issue you were having no matter what I tried, bullets, primers, powders, seating depth and I decided to take her back down all the way to figure out what was wrong. I too had about 300 rds run through it before taking her apart. Once I took it all the way back down I discovered I was touching at the shoulder first and then after fixing that problem I painting the end of the barrel threads and I found out I was touching on the very outside of the barrel threads on the rough part of the receiver instead of the flat portion that the barrel was supposed to be touching first. Once I fixed these two issues I put her back together and I started shooting sub moa with a couple of loads. If you can't take your barrel off take it back to your smith or another one and have him check it out. It doesn't take long to remove a barrel but if it has the same problems I had well then he'll have some metalwork to do, which again is not much except he'll have to time it so your barrel lettering will be back where it is.
