    The last few rifles I have developed loads for have all been custom bedded jobs or higher end very precisely finished rifles and they have been relatively easy to get shooting, I guess that kinda lulled me into a bit of complacency
    I will need to check the bedding out on both sticks and probably should've started there in reality, bedding is not a job I am comfortable doing especially with very hard to replace wood stocks so that is a factor, there is time and a considerable amount of funds, I have been quoted $350-$500 to have each of these rifles bedded (recoil lug/chamber, Tang and pillars) so if I could get away with not doing it, it would have been nice.
    mate.......to bed for testing it takes no more than 20 minutes and $20 and the results of that will be as good if not considerably better than the day the rifle left the factory.....and its completely removable with very little effort..you have egzachary NOTHING to loose by trying it.
