I will let you know if I decide to buy another barrel although after reading a lot of the above I am going to try some of the advice offered by the other forum members first.
I just need to find the time to do that now.

Excellent. Sounds like a good plan.
I wasn't trying to be critical with my comments. I have just seen the same thing happen before and with far lesser calibres than the magnums. You are obviously doing the right things and I am sure with a bit of perseverance you will get the Tikka shooting to it's potential.
