I am currently having trouble getting an older marlin 336 RC 30-30 to group. It will start out okay but after 3 to 4 rounds it starts to through shots all over and key holing.
I have cleaned the barrel several times with a bore brush. The bore is shiny and there seems to be good rifiling in the barrel. It has the marlin micro groove rifling in it. I have also tried several different types of ammo. The only one that seemed to work okay is the Remington core-lokt 170 grain. At least this one didn't key hole.
Can anyone help me with this problem. I like the gun and would like to keeep using it.
Thanks,
