new remington 7oo vs 22-250 issues

[mainejohn]

I just acquired a low round count 700 vs, 22-250. my first 2 shots were dead nuts and every shot after that climbed about 1/4- 1/2"!!! what would cause this? I am using factory Winchester 55 gr psp ammo. HELP

Cold bore point of impact is different after the barrel heats up. Also clean bore point of impact can be different than a fouled bore.

 

[mainejohn]

it just seems like it keeps climbing . I only shot 6 rounds but kept climbing. I wonder if a different load or different powder could keep it to a minimum.

Did you mount a different scope?

Could be how the action is fitted to the stock.

 

[mainejohn]

its the same scope that came with the gun. what should I look for on the scope?

 

[mainejohn]

I meant on the stock!!

If your barrel isn't free floated,your POA can move as the barrel heats up.The stock may show a shiny mark inside the barrel channel near the forend tip.This can be sanded out with a large dowel wrapped with sandpaper.This may solve your problem. I would make sure the bore is very clean first, it might save you some work.

Check your action screws for tightness and your base and rings. Clean the bore. If it is still having the same problem, have it bedded.
