[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1599229, member: 91402"] The last rifle I had that keyholed ended up being caused by a subtle barrel bulge near the muzzle. It apparently happened when the front sight was being sweated on and could only be seen when the bore was sparkling clean and you were looking for it. The strange part was when I fired short shank flat based bullets it grouped not bad but when I used long shank boat tail it would hit the target sideways at 50 yards. [/QUOTE]
