I need some HELP  Mad.  I have this DW 22 Mag with a 6VH barrel and I sent it to Keith for a tune up and new rear sight. I told him I was having bullet tumbling problems as well as accuracy problems.  When I got it back he included a target with no tumbling indicated. He said it seemed to shoot okay.  Well, so I go shoot it last night and holy cow it looks like I was shoot 1" screws at the target with a scatter gun. Slots all over the place. I got that result from Remington 22 win mag / 40 gr JHP and CCI 22 WMR 40 gr TMJ. The only ammo that did not tumble was Federal win mag 50 gr JHP, but accuracy was bad. I don't know if the barrel is bad or what. I set the barrel/ cylinder gap pretty tight, about .002". Had it at .006" before I sent it out but that doesn't seem to make a difference. It was bad with that setting also. I don't know how much use it had before I bought it back in June. Cry

I have a Ruger single six 22 mag and it is super accurate. Anybody have any ideas chime in please. Thanks,

Ed

scan that target in and mail it to Keith--then get him on the phone.  I'd find out what kind of ammo he was using also.

I agree with Shootist, first thing I would want to know is what ammo they were using, get some and try it first

Also try to pin down what range he tested at -vs- what you are shooting at?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
