This is my first time posting and just joined snipers hide. I have just built my first 6.5 Grendel that is pretty much franken-gunned together. I am getting inconsistent accuracy from it. (go figure lol) The barrel was a used barrel that I found. I didn't strip the copper out of it I just cleaned the fouling out before shooting. I shot my 1st 40 rounds today. The groups ranged from apx 2" to two groups being 3/8" (3 shots) I seem to have 2 shots very close and 1 flyer in every group except the two best ones. Could the difference be in the bolt locking to the rear? As I usually only load 3 per mag. however I did load some with more. The gun cycled 100% and function was perfect. These are the parts that I had laying around or could find. And I would have went with some different parts but I have an extremely tight budget. Any thoughts would be a great help
