Did you clean the barrel after the first 60 rounds of Wolf?
FWIW, I had a BHW 1:9 barrel that shot very well. You might also try measuring the twist with a cleaning rod and patch to verify that the twist is indeed 1:9. Seems like your bullets are unstable.
As for cleaning, I did after every round for first 20, then after every 5 rounds for the remaining 48 rounds.
As for the crown, I've not noticed any dings...and just checked it with a flashlight (again, my flash hider is .30, so a bit larger than the muzzle crown edge), looks sharp and clean all around.
UPDATE: Well, after looking at my invoices, there is no indication if either the barrel or the bolt was a "Type 1" or "Type 2," and frankly, now I can't remember. I want to say they were both Type 2, but at this point, I'm not sure.
The "good news" is that the barrel is indeed 1:9 when I tested it with a patch and rod. Right on the money, in fact. So, "now what???"
