[QUOTE="RuninL8, post: 2384303, member: 109233"] So, there are a few things you can look at having a gun smith check. First and foremost how tight is the chamber? Too tight? It can be reamed a thou or 2 longer, depending on headspace. Is the barrel clocked correctly on the reciever? (huge issues with harmonics if it's a carbon not clocked correctly) Is there chatter in your lands and groves where the reamer engaged the rifling? Is the chamber actually cut square? And what does the crown look like? Often overlooked however it has huge implications on precision. [/QUOTE]
