Early in the spring I bought a Bushmaster V-Match used from an individual. It looks like new, not a blemish on it. I bought a B-Square hi rise mount and put a 6-14 power Nikon Buckmaster scope on it.
First day out to the range, it was amazing! Shooting my 52 grain Sierra hpbt Match bullets in 1/4" groups. I was thrilled...Same thing happened next time out to the range...Then things went SOUTH!
I am now getting about 1 inch groups with my reloads and up to 2" with Fed. Eagle 55 fmj factories. I have tried several other factory loads and still over an inch @100yds.
I cleaned barrel thoroughly and no improvement. Tried changing to another scope, but results the same...
Any suggestions?
These same reloads yield 1/4" 100yd groups in my Savage Tactical.
Thanks
