[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 987708, member: 10755"] Firstly, I would be checking what twist rate it has, early Mark V rifles had 1:12" twists, they won't stabilise anything over 130gr. Secondly, how clean is the barrel? Thirdly, is the action and first 2" of barrel bedded? If not, this is what I would do ASAP. Be sure to free float that barrel too. I have a 270 Weatherby on a Model 70 stainless action with 26" barrel, it shoots bugholes for around 80 shots before groups open, and yes, it gets hot very quickly too, 3 rounds and it needs a rest. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
