[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 397564, member: 3733"] Tarey, I have quietly read your post about this rifle and it seems it is not "comming together" for you, let me make a few observations. You once posted a very nice group(if I remember corectly) that was shot with nosler B-tips. A relativly thin jacket constructed bullet. Most of your poorer groups have been heavier constructed bullets AB and tsx. One thing I have noticed about broughton barrels is the bore and groove dia. seem to vary a bit from barrel to barrel, due to their lapping procedure I presume, and your barrel may be a little oversized in the groove meaning a dia. of .3385" Try some SMK in that barrel they will "slug up" a bit better than the tougher bullets and may give you some better accuracy. At least this testing would give you some insite as to weather or not the barrel is actually capable of fine accuracy or not. Is the barrel cleaning up easy or does it seem to hold some copper?
