[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 971787, member: 61747"] OK, all good. I think you hit the nail on the head, you are used to the 223 and now you have a new rifle with a whole of lot differences. BTW- one of 6.5-284's had a weird spot in the throat like you describe but it shot .3 MOA consistently with my hand loads so I didn't worry about it. When I pushed the bullet into the throat for testing OAL I could feel it. Hated it but results proved it didn't matter that much. When I scoped the throat you could see one side of the lands was worn more than the other. I don't necessarily believe all those things have to be done to get accuracy. However, all of these things bring consistency to the table and that is important to most reloaders. I have a 30-06 Remington sporter weight that shoots .4 and .6 with two different loads. One is 2600 fps and the other is 2800. 2 grains powder difference in the loads. I didn't do anything to the cases and I have no clue how many times they had been fired. So it can be done for sure. I have lots of examples of accurate rifles that took little to make accurate but when chasing down a problem you have to turn over every rock. Question: did you check the torque on the action bolts etc. Can't recall if you did or not. Also, double check your scope for tracking or even swap scope from rifle to rifle. Defects happen. [/QUOTE]
