AI AT Accuracy Problems

Just went out again with 175gr GMM and shot. One group with 4/5 in the same hole and one pull, then everyrhing went in the shitter from there. Wandering POI, 1MOA plus groups. Im done, this suckers going on consignment at the local GS for cheap. Would have stuck with my "peasant" RAR/Bartlien/SWFA if Id known this was the end result. WTF.

You’re not cleaning with a SS brush chucked into a drill, are ye?

Just a joke, yet there are those who do that…

And maybe I also missed this, but is this a new barrel, or used? Have you had someone else shoot it? And tried a different scope and rings? Muzzle device/suppressor on vs off? Looked for crown damage with a magnifying glass? Checked if the rail is tight?

I think you said you tried a different lot of ammo.

It’s pretty interesting your first 4 shots were very good. Hmmm.

Out of curiosity, have you ever tried another barrel on that rifle?

99+% of the WinTac AI barrels are great shooters, but there are a couple of dudes out there who had mediocre results. I spoke with a couple of them on here when I posted about my AT-X 6.5CM barrel holding a ton of copper.

As a matter of fact, I'll loan you that barrel so you can try a box of ammo through it to see if your accuracy improves... You just have to promise to scrub it out when you're done ;) . It is a solid 2/3 MOA performer with factory 140 ELD-M. At least that way if it shoots like shit on your rifle you can eliminate the barrel as the culprit.

What is price ?


4 in one hole then open up is prolly the shooter. I’d dry fire a whole bunch focusing on NPA / fundamentals.

But if your selling cheap lmk
 
Went back later in the evening and tried again with the older FGMM in the red/black box. Seemed to do better. Top group was crazy, didnt hold breath and kinda went with it. Got used to the rifle so I wasnt blinking thru the shot. Im gonna eat crow for the next week guys, its prolly me...
