It used to shoot groups, now it shoots shotgun type patterns at 100 yards.

Just curious if anyone else has had this done and what the results were.
I had my H&R rebuilt last year by DGR and Dean installed a Criterion barrel. The last garand match I shot in I scored 469 by 8x using the supplied LC ammo and was very pleased with both the rebuild and the ammo. Shot a clean in the prone rapids even though I was sighted about 1.5 minutes too high. A nice tight 10 shot group cutting the top of the Xring. This barrel seems to like the 150 grainers better than my 168 gr. handloads.
