Having some issues with my most recent build and hoping some of those with more experience will be willing to offer some suggestions. I just completed building a 6 Creedmoor on a Kauger action, Manners stock and 18” Bartlein carbon fiber barrel (M24 contour). Stock has been pillar and glass bedded. Plan is to shoot factory loads if possible. So far I’ve tried 3 different types of ammo. Fed Gold Medal (105gr Berger and 107 SMK) and Hornady Precision Hunter with 103gr ELD-X. Have not been able to get any kind of consistency with 100 yard groups. Have fired roughly 100 rds and have only had two groups that looked pretty good (around 0.3”). The rest have been considerably larger….some even approaching 2”. I’ve only chambered around 25-30 barrels so not claiming to be an expert but the only two that have ever given me any trouble were carbon fiber…the other was a proof. I’m just curious if those with more experience with carbon fiber barrels have found those to be a little more picky with factory ammo choice or tuning of hand loads.
Also, I have double checked action screws, base and ring screws to make sure everything is torqued to spec. Have even tried two different scopes…Leupold Mark 4 and Nightforce NXS.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
