[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1310252, member: 12193"] I did a lot of reading on the Accumarks before I ever shot mine, and everyone seems to agree that they need to be bedded. With the aluminum bedding blocks they have in the stock they are really easy to skim bed. I bedded mine with Devcon and put in a lighter trigger spring, and the first group ever fired out of my gun was right at 1 MOA. I have yet to try a bullet/powder combination that won't shoot under 3/4 MOA with the right charge, and I don't mess with seating depth. I just pick a length that fits in my magazine and test different powder charges. Shooting these big boys takes a little more attention to detail while at the range. Make sure your gun can slide freely with the recoil, and that your swivel studs aren't going to snag on anything. If using a bipod be sure to load it properly each time. If using a front rest try to position the rest and rear bag consistently in the same spot on the rifle. Hopefully you can get this thing to shoot. Accumarks are a lot of fun. [/QUOTE]
