I have cleaned the bore and hinges with alcohol as Fred M instructed me to do. I still have a few Rem 100 gr core loct's left but I plan to by some win 80 gr and fed 80 grain I will also try to float the barrel using a business card. Do I need to put it in front of the lug or behind it? If all these things don't work the Handi's days are numbered! Thanks oktx

I put a strip of business card in front and back of the mounting lug. Just make sure that its freefloating the barrel. I mount a bipod on the sling swivel and it seem's to shoot the best like that. Digger

Thanks ditchdigger, I 'am sure starting to get frustrated with this rifle, one day it groups the next day it does't. oktx

How many rounds have you shot through it?
