[QUOTE="Metzger, post: 2126650, member: 74899"] Well I had put together my first "custom" rifle together. It seems to shoot really inconsistently. 300WM .050 FB 3.6 Match chamber 3B contour, Defiance anti, Mesa Precision altitude stock, Hawkins BDL, Wyatt MBE-3, Tigger tech. Action screws 65in lbs Scope 20 in lbs and 45 in lbs to picatinny Checked twice and re installed. The "break in" Remove oil from barrel then shoot Shoot 2 clean copper and carbon, bore scope to make sure. used 150GR reduced recoil Shoot 4 clean copper and carbon, bore scope to make sure. Ammo used 180SST superformance 180Gr Winchester super X 200Gr Hornady ELD-X Shot off a bipod and bag Weather semi calm wind 3-4mph L to R 40* in the AM to 60* by noon Confirmation took my 6.5CM and shot a sub 1/2moa group Barrel temps low Findings: Before shooting trigger was touching BDL made clearance BDL and wyatt mag box was rubbing BDL removed then shot the second to final group of a one hole with Winchester super X let cool and shot the final group of the day with Winchester Super X [/QUOTE]
