Guys I need some help. I have a 6mm-06AI built three years ago and loved it. I was shooting 95gr berger vld. They shot 5/8" at 100yrds going 3710fps.This set up has taken elk at 70yrds and Antelope past 500yrds. Last summer my niece was shooting it getting read for big Antelope hunt(she thinks it is her gun,she has killed more animals withit then me)and she couldnt hit anything past 200yrds. I shot it on paper to show her that it was her not the gun. It shot a 2.5" group@100yrds. I cleaned it again dont think it was fauled. Shot it again 2.5" group again. The gun has only been shot 250 times.
Things that I have done to try to figure it out.
1.checked to make sure barrel is still free floated
2.Have tried 3 scopes
3.Had gun smith check the crown,and made sure everything is true still.
4. I have tried differnt loads and the best I have been able to get is 1.5" at 100yrds.
5. The gunsmith wants me to eneal my cases.(have not tried that.I have never done that and heard you need to know what you are doing.)
What else do you think I should do?
