As some of you know I am having problems with a 308win. and have had many recomendations on what to do,and most were/have been done, from stock changes(3) to different powders,different bullets,I even tried a different front rest and a different shooter,4 different scopes to no avail.
Now it is time to change directions and see if maybe the chamber was cut out of specs.I know that seating a 155 grn. bullet into the rifling gives me a coal meassurment of 3.133.,is this too long.I know the book calls for a COAL of 2.770-2.080 thats a 0.360 difference. I usually back off .020-.025 off the rifling so backing off over 0.300 seems a little extreme.
Anyone else think the chamber may be the problem with this gun? Or am I going in the wrong direction?
