I bought the 6,5CM last summer. Great rifle, I was meaning..... Mostly I shoot 10 or 15 rounds for training. With excelent groups. But at competion, mostly with 25 rounds or more, the problem was coming... ![]() After 15 rounds the group is moving down and left. Not much, nearly one inch... First I was meaning it´s the scope and I bought a new one. But today after the 15th round, same problem..... Anyone an idea? ![]() | ||

Is it because of fouling or the barrel heating up? | |||

I have never shot competition so my advise my be null and void, but I have been at the range shooting different loads to see what a rifle liked for accuracy and getting impatient for the barrel to cool would pour cool water down the tube. If this is feasible to do it will cool a barrel quickly, but keep in mind I have never heated a barrel extremely hot and I can imagine getting adverse results from this cooling method on a super hot barrel. Also, some propellants will heat a barrel faster than others and have found a few that I refuse to burn for this reason. A fluted heavy varminter barrel is hard for me to heat up. I have shot twenty rounds through my 22/250Rem that wears an E.R. Shaw helical fluted barrel without getting warm enough to quit shooting, and in fact I couldn't hardly feel much warmth at all with my hand. Dennis Life member NRA | |||
