Al,
You did not mention what ammunition you have tried.
My stock 200 in 243 would hold an inch or less with 95 gr Hornady SSTs and less than an inch with 75 gr sierra varminters over IMR 4350. I have since replaced trigger and stock with minor improvement. Check all of the usual stuff on your rifle, it should do better than that with the "right" ammunition.
A barrel change is a lot of fun to do and should make a fine custom firearm, but I doubt that the barrel is the immediate problem.
