KEY HOLEing

[Adam Helmer]

jon,

What ammo are you using to get "keyholes?" Was the original GI barrel cut? If so, it may not have a proper crown. If some prior owner cleaned it from the muzzle, it may have a crap crown.

I would let the smith recrown the muzzle and start over with factory loads. If it keyholes then, I would take the gun and target back for a refund.
