[QUOTE="Taj, post: 3072101, member: 98000"] I think all you can do is buy a good quality barrel form a company with a good reputation and take it to a smithy that knows how to set it up and cut a good chamber. Anything after that is magic. I bought a full bull barrel blank a few years back from a well know maker and put it on a customers rifle. He could not get it to shoot. I ended up pulling the barrel and sent it back to the maker just for a look see. He called me with an apology and sent me a new barrel. He obviously found and issue but would never tell what the issue was. Sometimes things just happen. [/QUOTE]
