[QUOTE="hawlejr, post: 2541219, member: 86290"] If you have a buddy who shoots .300 WM, and gets good groups, try some of his ammo, or let him reload some of his brass with your components. Do some chrony work at the same time and assure reasonable tight spread of velocity. If it doesn't improve, with all the stuff you've tried, then it's not your dies, or your brass or your primers, or your bullets. I'd say use factory except that is often not available, or in off-weight, and maybe not a comparable. Next, try a whole new scope/mount/blocks. Go all the way to the action. Next work on the rifle itself, and try shims up and down that free-float. Field strip the bolt and make sure there's nothing impeding the spring/firing pin which could impact lock time. At this point, it's either the stock bedding ( which isn't likely given that you re-bedded it), or the barrel. What I'd try to do is get it down to the point where it's got to be the barrel, and then you know what you gotta do....unfortunately. Don't know if Remington has any customer service left, but if they did, at that point I'd send it back with a list of all the stuff you've done and insist they either prove the barrel good, or put on a new one. With the current state of Rem., you may wind up replacing the barrel yourself. [/QUOTE]
