[QUOTE="AggieHunter, post: 1918589, member: 83929"] I just bought a brand new Proof Research 7mm 8 twist barrel, had my gunsmith put it on a Deviant Action with the idea of creating a 7mm wsm so we could use the Berger 168 grain VLD Hunting, Hornaday 180 grain EDL or Hornaday 175 grain EDX. After breaking the barrel as prescribed in their directions, we are having a very difficult time. Once we think we have the ogive correct and try to a 3 or 4 shot group when the barrel is cold. The 1st shot is 2" right, below or above every time. The other 3 shots fall into nearly the same home (in the .10ths at 100 yards). It happens on the 168 grain bullet & the 180 grain bullet. There is no reason why this should be happening. We have checked the screws, bedding, scope rings and the stock. Has anyone else had the same issue? If so, could you fix the issue? Thanks [/QUOTE]
