[QUOTE="trophyhunter170, post: 864894, member: 30392"] Hi guys, I have a 7 SAUM build with a Pierce Titanium Action and a No. 5 Brux Barrel. In the very beginning when this rifle was new it would shoot in .20's, (first half dozens groups) however that was short lived. It will put 2 in the same hole and then throw one out vertically. It is sometimes low and sometimes high usually around 1 inch. I have tried Caurterucio, Berger and Nosler bullets and all give basically the same results. I have cut and crowned the barrel twice, re-bedded the action, tried 3 different scopes and changed scope mounts. The more i shoot the rifle trying to figure out the problem the larger the group size get. It basically went from .25 to .35 to .45 to .55 to .85 and now is around 1.00. It may throw any one of the shots out. There is not any consistency. Have scoped barrel and it looks normal. My loads are good. Some of my loads have had an ES of 5. I have been loading for accuracy for over thirty years and am familiar with all applications of reloading. I have never had a rifle that I could not figure out the problem, but this one has stumped me. Anyone have any ideas? I have decided it has to be the barrel. By the way I have a new barrel that will be here this week and it is not a BRUX. [/QUOTE]
