[QUOTE="oneeyejohn, post: 2255699, member: 85797"] I had the same problem with my old Remington 721, 30-06. I read an article in the November 2019 American Rifleman about cleaning barrels that won't group. Before Coved 19 tried all types of powder, primers, cases bullets etc. to get good groups. Finally I stopped and read all I could find to read on this problem. The ABOVE article recommended before replacing the barrel to try This gunsmiths method of cleaning the barrel. I did clean the barrel as described in the article. Last Tuesday 8-2-2013 I got to an open shooting range and shot a 9/16 inch group of three shots with that old rifle. I will try to duplicate it the next time I go to the range, but it has been 15 years since I shot anything close the that small a group. No New barrel at this time. The American Rifleman article is titled Dealing with Fouling by Bryce M. Towslen and I think you can still find it on the NRA web-site. [/QUOTE]
