[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2359081, member: 42157"] Lots of potential. I currently have a custom 223 that shoots for absolute crap. I am beyond frustrated with it and would gladly throw away the $900 barrel if I had not already paid the 900 for it....barrel not the rifle.....LILJA barrel. 5K is not bad for a 223 just how it was shot. Clean it to bare metal, sort brass to at least same brand, load a 40, 50, 55 gr bullet with two different powders at bottom weight in any manual, If you can set 20K off lands if not start at the basis SAMMI OAL. Compare your groups. What is inconsistent group sizes? 500fps swing I doubt is a shot out barrel. That will give you a better start on determining the issue even with it being scoped. [/QUOTE]
