BAD groups----need help

[One Shot]

I haven't tried it without the can.

If using any sort of sighting device or optic, check that first to make sure that it is on tight.

Clean the weapon thoroughly and take the suppressor off. Tighten down any sighting systems (base, rings, etc.). See what kind of accuracy you are getting after this.

If you are getting good accuracy with the suppressor off, then you may have misaligned threads and you may be getting baffle strikes.

If accuracy is still crappy, inspect the rifling and crown for burrs and visible imperfections. If after all this, and you still are nowhere, try 150-175 grain bullets to see if it is a twist rate issue.

I would say that if you are getting 2-3 MOA, it is likely a load problem, but with 6-8 inch groups, it is likely something functionally wrong with the weapon (assuming a capable shooter in a benchrest situation and a reasonable sighting system).

Try it without the can first and report back.

Thanks I tried some diferent loads last weekend with only slight improvement. I'm planning on doing more testing tomorrow ( Wed ) and I'll try with the can off and see what happens.
thanks for the input.

I tried without the can. Still using 9.2 of H110 and one box with .220 gr RN, and one with 200 gr Spitzer. I still got one with 4 inch groups ond one with 8 inch groups. I had just fininhed shooting 1/2 in groups with my .223, so I don't think it's me.
Any other suggestions? I did buy some different power, but I wouldn't think it would make that much difference. I have a new Nikon Buckmaster on the gun and would think that shouldn't be the problem.
Thanks again for the help.

Hmmm

Time to try a few different things. Both with and without the can on.

Can you get any factory ammunition?

Also try some supersonic loads if you can - and get some 220 and 240 Matchkings.

Finally, just to confirm, you have checked the barrel twist is 1/8?

Try some 150-180 grain bullets and see how it shoots with and without the suppressor.

I've had significant vertical stringing with loads using H110. I have moved to #9 and lil gun and seen marked improvement.

Try something other than H110, it seems to be sensitive to temperature and position in the case.
