Target shooting slugs out of a rifled
cantilevered barrel. Using 4 different
brands of sabot slugs at 70 yard with a scoped, rifled, cantilever barrel. after 3 shots my 2 inch group is gone and the shots begin to rise and spread. I haven't been able to check the scope with a laser bore but I've swapped everything
(Scope, Ammo, gun) all is tight and clean. Is the barrel or cantilever flexing from the heat?

Michael, normally the shot groups will spread with cantilever ffex. I would fire at least three 3 shot groups to get an idea of what's happening after the 3 shot. I would move in to 50yds and shoot 3 three shot groups back to back. My guess is that if everything is tight, the scope may be wandering zero when firing.

Hi Michael, How quick are you shooting? It takes alot to heat up the barrel enough to flex it.

I would think its the barrel as the cantilever should not get a lot of heat after 3 shots. I am assuming Remington I would contact them and see if the can help you (336) 548-8700
