[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1028306, member: 27307"] RichJD13, I would like to hear a description of this process you used for your barrel. There are several places to start looking. Length of the chamber or how your cartridge and bullet relates to the throat. This is where reloading has it all over factory ammunition because you can adjust the bullet seating depth in relationship to the throat. Most reloaders still believe that jam or touching the lands is still the only way to attain accuracy. The newer, longer bullets seem to want to be staged slightly off the lands for best accuracy. Sometimes this can amount to as much as 0.050" for some of the hybrids. Ultralight stock. Even though it was designed by Melvin Forbes of NULA fame, doesn't mean that the stock doesn't have some twisting or stability problems. Yes they claim pillar bedding and epoxy bedding but getting it right each and every time can be a challenge for a factory. Light weight stocks often take some getting used to and there are differences in how to achieve an accurate rest for those longer shots. These stocks vibrate differently from the more solid and heavier fiberglass/synthetic stocks. A gunsmith can assess the fit and stress-free circumstances of the rifle by measuring the movement of the barreled action in the stock as the action screws are loosened and tightened. Trigger. It's an adjustable trigger, make it work for you. If you lack the information or skill set, take it to a qualified gunsmith for tuning, not just weight of pull but take up and over travel as well. Those are the highlights without actually physically assessing the rifle. Regards. [/QUOTE]
