[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2074111, member: 38048"] Yes it's heating up and moving his impact point. But sometimes it's not entirely the barrels fault. Suggestions have been made to try and help the problem. A barrel that does this can almost always be made to shoot better with a pressure point. I've seen where the barrel channel was just slightly close enough to the barrel that it would start touching. Then they really move. And if you have a bad bedding job a little heat in the front of the action around the chamber can wreak havok. So suggestions have been made to try and help that's what we do on this site is try and help each other. I've been smithing for over 30 yrs and have seen it all for the most part. Some things can be helped some not so much but you won't know till you find solutions and try them. It will never be a waste of my time trying to help a member out. By the way to the op if you do a pressure point you will most likely need to retune your load some. Your barrel will act like it's half as long. This is why so many factory rifles came with a pressure point. Factory barrels are not stress relieved perfectly if at all and most have no bedding. Good luck. Shep [/QUOTE]
