I have been learning from this site for several years and now I need your advice. I have a rifle in 223 Remington that shoots patterns instead of groups. I bought it new about 2 years ago and it has somewhere between 350 and 400 rounds through it.
I fired 1 shot and clean for the first 20 rounds as a break in for the barrel. I just can not get it to shoot decent groups with any regularity.
I had an old H&S stock from my silhouette days, so I pillar bedded the action in that stock.
I purchased a Lyman Bore Cam to inspect the barrel and was shocked by what I am seeing.
I have been using Shooters Choice for a bore cleaner for many years. I just purchased some Bore Tech Eliminator this last week and am finding that I am constantly getting copper out of the barrel even after Shooters Choice indicated that the copper was gone.
After bore scoping the barrel, I am no longer surprised.
Hopefully I will be successful in posting the pictures.
