[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2442868, member: 108926"] From the sounds of it I suspect a fowling problem, I think you need to be a little more aggressive cleaning the bore, a bore snake is not enough with many barrels, try a saturated bore brush with hoppies about 10 to 12 passes thru the bore and let sit about 15 minutes, patch dry, saturate a patch with aceitone to clean out any residue, patch dry and then treat with Barnes cr10, without a bore scope I'd treat it it 2 or 3 time with the Barnes, then head back to the range, I purchased my bore scope over 30 years ago, it was a real eye opener, back then most shooters just cleaned with a little hoppies and called it good, discovered most barrels we thought to be cleaned really weren't, I'd say 3 out out of 5 rifles brought into my shop back then with accuracy issues just really needed a good cleaning, today's barrels are of better quality than they were back then, but once a build up occurs weather carbon or copper it can create all kinds of issues, be it pressures or accuracy.
