Well bought a semi-custom .260... with a 1 in 9 barrell that wasnt shooting well. The chamber and the rifling had been messed up. So it went back to the maker... who re-barrelled it. Tested it and gave me the picture below as proof.
The group is 1.21 inches at 300 meters. Which is about .25 MOA.... should be a single hole at 100 meters then...
But you would be wrong to think that...
Using exactly the same load, cases, bullet and primer... in the same rifle.
These are some of the better groups... in a number of cases five shots wouldnt stay on the target.
Was also testing a .300 WM load today. Had only five cartidges... the topmost shot is is shot #3 where I flinched. This is out of a stock SHR 970 that is going to be rebarelled... shot bipod only.
And this is .22 lr.. with about a 10-15 mph wind @100 meters. Baraska scope and bipod shooting CCI standard with a silencer.
I would like to think it's not me....
The other major difference I am seeing is that this barrell is fouling like crazy..
This what it took to clean the barrell after 20 shots...
