return to battery is the term used I believe to desribe how bedding works.

you say you can shoot the same of many contorted positions...umm helloooo thats the opposite of consistant...so you have to be VERY good at getting what you can to be the same...see even there there is common ground...consistancy is the key..repeatability is another way to say it..doesnt matter a shit if that is a 3 or 5 shot group or 1 shot today and 1 shot in a months time....if its not consistant it wont consistantly hit where it was supposed to be aimed at.... the very WHY of shotgun fit.....if a shotgun fits the shooter properly they can hit targets in all sorts of weird situations as gun becomes an extension of shooter... its consistantly the same.

Yes Micky D some of what the Tussock meister has written here has driven me to drink. All the original two articles ( and I did not write them ) were meant to do was generate some thinking about the fundafuckingmentals of getting an accurate and cònsistent shot away. I KNOW that advice is totally sound.
