[QUOTE="theflyonthewall, post: 566926, member: 35305"] Have either of you ran any different bullets through it other than THAT particular lot of Bergers? I know it's rare for good companies to have a bad run of bullets and let them get all the way to retail, but you've already covered most of the obvious issues. So what's left....hmmm? 1. Rifle wants a different bullet. 2. As the barrel heats, could it be contacting the stock---even though it may not do so when cold? 3. Has headspace been verified? 4. What's the twist rate of the barrel? Surely it's fast enough to stabilize the 168's, but is there a tiny chance that it's been rebarreled at some point? 5. Other than that, I'd have to say to slug the barrel and mic the slug to make sure that the tolerances inside the barrel are up to spec. [/QUOTE]
