[QUOTE="Broz, post: 568338, member: 7503"] Rich, First let me say I have no conclusion what caused my problem. I believe any manufacturer can produce a great barrel and at some point all will produce a dud. But here is my story. A few seasons ago when I built my full custom 300 win I ordered the same barrel as in your post. It simply did not shoot and was a 1 1/2 moa shooter. Period. After break in and a total of close to 100 rounds of load development, changing sopes, powders, bullets etc. Nothing helped. I called Kreiger for help, none was offered and they talked to me like they could not wait to get me off the phone. I then trashed the new barrel and installed a 5C Broughton. The rifle has shot 1/2 moa to 1000 yards every since. I am getting a true 2995 fps with 210 Bergers and H-1000. I have owned many 300 wins and I feel this is very good speed for a 28" 300 win with 210's. It is just my personal thing, but I have never liked the idea of the 4 grove barrels. And that will be my last one. Also, I have rebarreled and built many rifles over the years and that Kreiger is the only new barrel I have ever tossed in the trash. For what it's worth. Jeff [/QUOTE]
