[QUOTE="1tonpower, post: 722369, member: 39135"] a little history on the gun. i bought i new in 2003. it is a weatherby MarkV 6lug bolt.with 54*bolt lift. it shot great. i never measured the groups, but 3 shots were inside an inch or better. i deployed in 03 for a year and for one reason or another my safe was never opened. this was the only barrel effected. looking down the bore you could see ruff spots and after a lot of cleaning it wouldnt shoot like it did new. i just recently got into reloading for my 243 and came across tubs final finish. i thought id try it before i bought a barrel for an over haul in the first target i was making adjustments to get on paper..shooting at 25 yards. after the first sting all other shots where taken at 100. i did make one more adjustment. +2MOA. i made that adjustment after the 5 shot group. no adjustments were made for the last string of 10. the first shot was a cold clean bore, im guessing that one was the highest. and the low left hit was all me. i flinched. that was number 9.. the scope used was an old(1970s)im guessing 3x9 red field illuminator rang finder, with ballistic turret for elevation. weaver rings and bases..the action screws are tight. i didnt separate the action from the stock during the process. i will clean the bore again and shoot some factory loads for groups. i have a box of 165g SST superformace to try out. if that shoots well i will start loading 175g SMKs and go from there [/QUOTE]
