    It never occurred to me that the old finnlight barrel and the new Tikka barrel might be slightly different in contour and diameter but clearly they are as part of my investigation revealed that the new barrel is touching the stock pretty muck most of the way from the action to the tip of the fore, it also looks like the taper is slightly different as it looks like it's been rubbing on a couple spots.
    This issue was likely less pronounced when I was shooting prone off the ground as I load up the bipod a bit, however shooting off the bench at the handloaders range it's hard to load the bipod up as it just slides forward.
    Anyway, will drop the rifle back to Zac and get him to re bed it and make sure the barrel is free floated, then I will load a small charge ladder at the 90thou off the lands seating depth and see if things become gravy once again
    Bugger. Oh well, Ive still got that pkt of Norma 270 wsm ammo here to get you started for when the 270wsm barrel goes back on
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    I am not that quick to admit defeat whilst frustrating I am learning a lot. Very close to buying factory ammo and seeing how that shoots but have a few more things to tidy up before it gets to that....
