After many hours and many rounds I am at a loss of what could be causing my rifle to basically "fling" rounds downrange. I have a Heym SR-21 in 6.5x55 I bought while in Germany (Synthetic stock) I didn't shoot it much in Germany but when I got back to the US I shot it more and I could never get it to shoot straight. I have tried many different brands/weights of ammo and while some lighter (131g) ammo reduces the effect they still all over the target. I changed scope/rings (it has picitiny rail bonded to the receiver from the factory) I took it to a gun smith who told it had copper fouling. Cleaned and removed the fouling. Heym then told me the stocks produced in that period were problematic so I replaced it with a GRS stock. Same results. See picture.
I am thinking there is an issue with the barrel or headspace? I don't know much about head space but I am really scratching my head as to what is causing this. I do know that proper head space is important. Anyone have an ideas/suggestions?
