[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1190659, member: 7999"] Had a great phone conversation with Wildcater and I think we may have figured out what is going on with his rifle. He had an aftermarket fluting job done to a light weight barrel. I have a distinct feeling that may have caused some dimension irregularities in his bore. This would explain the strange velocity readings and the inability to get a good group. Not only with our Hammer Bullets, but every bullet he has tried. It is possible that there is some fouling issues in the new barrel but I am banking on the fluting job causing problems. He also has another rifle that Christianson turned down and carbon wrapped that has accuracy issues. Same situation, remove barrel material from the original contour and it changes the molecular stress in the steel and you wind up with an irregular bore. Steve [/QUOTE]
