[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 222072, member: 340"] Thats messed up. I see a shift of .5-2 MOA low with the can on vs not across all my rifles. More on lighter profile barrels, less on thicker ones. The only time I had it move me off paper is when it somehow came 1/4 turn loose. Do you have a crush washer or anything between the barrel and the can? If so, lose that and thread it straight on. I hold the rifle between my legs and crank it down tight with both hands. JMF makes a good point about free floating. I had to sand some out of the barrel channel on my Rem 7mm stock so it would still float with the extra weight on the end. Aside from that, could be that the threads on the barrel or can are messed up and it's not aligning directly with the bore. It may not be out of whack enough to cause a baffle or end cap strike, but enough to mess with the bullet on exit. [/QUOTE]
