Try something besides a bore snake. Those things are not tough enough to get under the copper, and if there is copper in your barrel its going to mess with your grouping. You can get a bronze brush for $5 and screw it onto your cleaning rod.
I recently built a 300 WM on a Rem 700 and my first 'bore' sighting was damn near perfect center of the target. My next three shots were 1/2 MOA and then it started to get outta whack pretty quick from copper stripping. A quick check to see if you've got copper build up: If you have any abrasive solvents that are good at attacking copper, leave some of that in your barrel for 10 minutes and then run a patch through, if it comes out blue try the above link.
