I have just replaced the barrel on my sauer 202 for a fluted one in the same calibre .270win, the original standard barrel was very accurate and the fluted one was sold as new, swapping the barrels was easy enough so yesterday I put up a target at fifty and fired a shot that was eight inches low, wound up the elevation on the scope until it ran out of clicks fired again and it hit two inches low, took the target out to one hundred yards and it was still shooting two inches low,i then fired a three shot group that was around four inches, so decided that I must have a problem with the way I changed the barrel, in the evening I was sitting thinking about the barrel when it suddenly occurred to me that the ammunition I was using was for my original barrel and only neck sized, do you think this could be the reason for the poor accuracy and the eight inch drop in the point of aim
