At least I am glad to know that I am not the only one with this experience. It seems 1.5" is the norm and not the exception. As varmintGuy stated not exactly impressive but not horrible either. I bought the gun used and have not thoroughly cleaned the barrel yet. I will have to give it a good cleaning and then shoot it again to see if there are any accuracy changes. I do not handload yet but may be ordering some reloading equipment in the next few days. VG please keep me posted on your handload developments as i will be very interested in seeing what you find out.
