A good clean and it was back to its tack driving self.
A deep clean with jb's or I use wipe out which gets every thing out.

I would hazard a guess that many rifles get sold on as the accuracy starts to drop off, they try everything they can think of to look for the problem, then give up and sell it on. Very likely carbon fouling would be the problem.

I have a 7mm08 that shot awesome, then eventually maybe after 200 to 300 rounds from new it started grouping at 3-4" at 100 yards, checked everything to no avail. Finally someone suggested that my normal cleaning process may not have been removing the carbon, i scrubbed the bore with a Autosol on a patch, and what do you know, back to 3 shots touching.

Ive changed my cleaning process now.
