Personally I despise that "sniper 101" guy for creating the "copper equilibrium" fad of never cleaning your rifle. Rifles get returned that do not meet accuracy guarantee because they are caked full of crap...because "copper equilibrium"
Cleaning regime I would use in such situations.
Apply wipe out to barrel - let it sit for a couple of hours.
Run a bore brush back and fourth down the barrel 10 times.
Patch Out.
Repeat over a day or two. Perhaps 5-10 cycles depending on how fouled it is.
Firstly give the barrel a serious clean as specified above.
Then, as others have said - make sure the action is sitting in the lug correctly. Take action out of stock and put it back in. Maybe even post a picture of the gap at the front of the barrel as we may be able to tell you if looks to be seated correctly based off the gap.
I understand you have already done it - but for anyone else..Do not remove the pressure points in the stock. There are two purposeful contact points a couple of inches in front of the action. They are meant to be there. Do not remove these as it may well void any accuracy guarantee and make the rifle inconsistent. It should be free floated to about 2" in front of the action to where the pressure/support points are. See image.
