Were the loads from last year fired before or after you sanded the stock?

Before, I sanded the stock as soon as I bought the gun. I remember paper would not pass before, but did after sanding, but it was still tightish, so perhaps a bit of barrel expansion makes it connect.
I like the multiple target technique for barrel walking!!
As a point of interest, I presently shoot with a bipod, attached to the front sling mount. That is pretty much right where the tight stock-to-receiver tight spot was.

Have you shot the rifle with good factory ammo?

I used to shoot Norma Jatkmatch 155gr FMJ training ammo. I bought it as it was the cheapest (FMJ not being allowed for hunting) and the cases were good quality for subsequent reloading. I haven't shot it for a while and seeing as my shooting is pretty bad now, I can assure it was worse then, so I'd have to buy some more and see what happens to the pattern.

Your rifle may just not shoot well enough for 1,000 yard shooting.
