I don't buy into the harmonics hype. I'd say it's a combo of a really crappy chamber and the factory rifling and crown. That our your bottom metal wasn't torqued evenly.
Is the barrel floated?
Skinny barrels and uneven stock pressure make for some poor accuracy and wide flyers.
I've found that even some floated barrels may make contact with the stock as they heat up causing groups to get wide.

This is what scares me. I equate the rifling as an issue that is probably common on all of Remington's barrels, but to what degree?
If I'm to have Steve fix my SPS Varmint barrel, he can take care of the crown when he chops it and he can re-cut the chamber, but the rifling is what it is (there's no way that I know of to fix that).
If Remington's QC is that bad on the rifling, then it could be that this skinny barrel is suffering from the same issue that my SPS barrel could be suffering from.
Can Steve check the rifling? I'd love to know before I spend money on having him machine up the old SPS barrel. If its enough to give me sub-moa, I'm probably going to keep it, but I'd love to know something about it before I pay to do the work on it.
I guess if the rifling is screwed on both barrels, then I'm stuck with a Shilen or Broughton and some saving before i can have Steve install anything.
