Two grouping ?

[Bulseyetom]

Many decades ago my father had a Model 740 Remington that shot good for years then started your two group but more severe with the shots being about 6" apart. As you described, you would have two 1" groups but 6" between them. The bedding was the culprit and the problem was quickly resolved. I was only 10 years old but can remember it like it was yesterday. I believe that the bedding is binding someplace.

The aluminum bedding blocks sometime do not conform to the receiver...If you put some Marine Tex in the block and bed the receiver when you pull the receiver out you can see the spotty aluminum contact..

I've bedded the action in a shehane tracker stock, switched to a leupold 6.5-20X40 and switched to berger 105 hunting vld. It cut the groups to .500 but it is still two grouping.
This is my first ratchet rifled barrel, is there any way I'm missing something.

The short answer is YES.

Did you ever have someone else shoot it?

What is your shooting rest set up? Any way to change your rest set up? Barrow someone elses rest?

Who installed the barrel?

Maybe something is not square with everything else.

Havent been able to get someone else to shoot it.
I shoot off of sand bags (always have).
Its a savage action so I installed the barrel.(I've had real good luck in the past)

I have another action, would you switch and then see what happens.

was at the range the other day and a good friend of mine was working with a new (high profile smith built 243AI) and he was doing the same thing 3 in one hole and 2 in another hole.I told him if he could get them all in one hole he might have something finally that would out shoot my BR.lol,No he has a BR he just cant out shoot me. MY opinion is maybe they are going to fast? maybe just pushing the bullet too fast out of that twist.Try a heaver or differant bullet,maybe?.Well i saw him last night and asked him if he got that Ackley fixed and he said it was down the road.You dident buy it did you??lol


Yea if everything everyone else said is ok
try a bullet with more bearing surface and slow em down
see if that helps
