All other loads with Nosier, Sierra and Hornady bullets were 1-1/2 MOA at best with some 3-4 MOA.

Barrel has a lot of tooling marks and needs to be replaced but just haven't done it yet. Most frustrating rifle I can remember in a long time.

But it is pretty.... crazy

Before you scrap that barrel, try the Tubbs bullets on it. It’ll be worth the 35 bucks to know if the barrel is shot or can be uniformed and smoothed out. They have saved a few barrels just like what you mentioned.
