| I know I know, another Keyholing thread. I know what it is, but how much does it effect accuracy? Also, what are the other negative effects of keyholing? Thanks. |

Keyholing can drastically effect your accuracy, even at a short range. As the bullet tilts, it changes the way that it cuts through the air and completely compromises the B.C. of your round. Also, due to the increase in drag, velocity drops much quicker which means less range, and less power. There is probably more, but this is what I have experienced in regards to keyholing.

If a clean barrel is keyholing and has been recrowned, it's garbage. Excessive copper fouling can cause keyholing, as can damage to the crown. Otherwise, you're looking at getting a new barrel. Is this a hypothetical or did you buy a worthless rifle? If you recently purchased it I'd be on the seller to replace it. BSW |
