No, gun isn't bedded. I believe the 75's are difficult to bed, something to do with the lug's proximity to the stock screw.??? I have measured the OD of the loaded round. Will give it a try when I'm able and see how I go. Thanks for all the input, genuinely useful to have a knowledgeable...

Ok, a bit more context is probably required here. I am appreciating the input so please stay with me on this long post. Setup is a Sako 75 action in a mcmillan stock with a 23" 1:8 twist border barrel (UK make). Scope is a Zeiss Duralyt 3-12x50 sat in 1 piece Sako optilocks. It also has an...
