So, in an effort to get my lowly MkII FV shooting better, I did a thorough barrel clean, polished the barrel with JB and 22 drilled felt pellets.
Barrel has some defects, but pretty clean overall.
And it shoots good. It always has shot pretty well, but trying to close the groups.
I put the action in an Oryx stock and bought a better scope.
I have changed my routine before each shoot and have been running a dry pellet down the barrel, one or two with kroil, another dry pellet, one with alcohol to remove the kroil, then run a pellet down the bore with lock eaze on it and let it dry.
All 5 shot groups below numbered at 50 yards, Eley Contact bullets.
1st group was cold bore. Did the exact same thing yesterday. IE 1st group shot very tight, then opened up a little.
Question is, I get these weird fliers. No really bad ones today, but occasionally I will get a flier that is over 1" off the POA.
Yesterday I got one that was about 1.5" and I assume the bullet is getting shaved. The other day I chambered a bullet and it looks like the chamber cut a flap on the tip.
Any of you guys figured out a way to stop the chamber edge from shaving bullets if that is the case?
