Update to thread- got the copper issue under control but was still having problems with the groups. After several discussions with Boyd Allen he had me check the bedding. There was a small amount of the bedding compound from previous barrel setup that was touching this barrel. I could slip a piece of paper between stock and barrel but I was hitting the compound about 3/4” from the action. I got a dremel and ground it down until I had good clearance to the action. Immediately Shot two groups under a half inch and a third one was .505. I couldn’t happier for a light weight deer/coyote rifle! Boyd was a ton of help as were many others with the issues I had. I greatly appreciate everyone’s guidance and advice. This is a great site!
I just had a barrel replaced on a hunting rifle. First time I’ve ever had that done and I think I have a problem. Would anyone be willing to pm me and let me ask a couple of questions? Would rather not jump to conclusions on open forum.
Thanks.
