[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 229792, member: 4885"] Thanks guys, Last night I decided to really clean the barrel down to bare metal, so I removed the carbon with Butches bore shine, then used wipeout until it was spotless, ran an oil patch and then a dry patch. I went out today to do some testing and decided I'd shoot a group with the first 3 rounds, just to see how it behaved after a good cleaning. Just for reference, I had 1/4 down and 1/4 left in the scope compared to the other group. The first 3 shots went .196" Center to Center. The diamond bullseye is 1/2" on a side. I did a brass life test over the next couple hours that I will post on a thread of it's own. [IMG]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u193/AJPeacock_photos/Rifles/338EdgeGroup9-24-08.jpg[/IMG] If I keep working on it, this gun might eventually be a shooter! :D AJ [/QUOTE]
