I have not made a mold out of the action to know where the lands are.

Not sure if it is a two groove... how do I check?

One reloader I work with says he always does 4 shot groups when testing loads. Unfortunately, I am low on ammo and it is hard to find right now. My last trip yielded the exact same cartridge for...

After over an hour of scrubbing my rifle here are the results 50 yards on a bench wind 10-15 mph:

confiscation and seizure laws can be head scratching. They are not nice here in Michigan either. There is a push to legislate it better.

I use the bore snake right after shooting it every time (at the end of the...

Might do that. I dissembled it once before, but am not an expert.

All feedback is helpful!!!
A new stock was put on by a gunsmith 20 some years ago - the original was too short for me ;)
Checked the scope and no obvious looseness or overtightness. Plus, just...

Just read up on copper fouling and cleaning it out. I do not think that thorough of a cleaning has ever been done on the rifle...

It has been able to get sighted in before. Sometimes it took several rounds, but I have shot a few deer with it. I looked down the barrel and still saw some rifling, but I wasn't looking for flaws...

Any ideas why my .303 British Enfield bolt action is not holding a pattern?

Here is the info:
Last year tried sighting it in and it failed miserably. I was sighting in at 50 yards on a shooting...
