Powder weights from 40.5gr to 43.5. First 2 shots would touch. 3rd shot varied between 1/4 to 1inch apart from the first 2. And never straying in the same direction.

For example 40.5 gr first 2 shots would touch. 3rd would hit upper right 1/2 inch away from the first 2.

With 43.5 first 2 would touch. 3rd was 3/4 in lower left.

Any ideas on what would cause this? There was about a 3-4 min break between shots with 10min between groups. Using a Savage 10t with a 1-10 twist.

It could be a matter of cheekweld.  You may be able to be consistent for a couple shots then you position changes.  You might try shooting 3 shots in a row and not pick your head up of the rifle while working the bolt.  Try to find a reference point on your face where it touches the stock and keep that position the same.  Identical concept to an anchor point in archery.

I am leaning towards form since you are always getting two shots to touch and there is no consistency where the 3rd is going.

Hmm.... I'll have to try that. If it was that simple I might kick my own butt for that.

building an AR10 (DPMS) looking for a 22" 7.3 or 7.5 twist barrel in 243. Want it to be relatively light, but also hold zero for strings up to 15 rounds per stage. Using a JP lightweight carrier, and a adjustable gas block.

what contour on the barrel, and will you build the barrel assembly?

I think our buddy Glen Seekins is running his AR10 barrel at a .750-.800 at the muzzle in a 24" barrel.  I certainly wouldn't go any smaller than that.  Unfortunately, I don't do any AR10 barrels at this time.  I used to, but unless a guy had a premium upper, accuracy was hit or miss.  Had the most problems with DPMS uppers and their consistency.  Drop the same barrel into a premium billet upper and they shot lights out.

Do you do any re-barreling of metric threaded actions... Weatherby, Howa, etc?
