Can anyone give some advice on bedding the above?
I have a 300 Win Mag which was shooting very well - about .6moa.
All the groups were showing some vertical with low ES.
The action to stock contact points were uneven so my gunsmith skimmed the alloy and bedded the action.
The groups opened up to 2moa!
He has rebedded again as there initially was some movement of the barrel when the front action screw was tightened. There is less than .001 movement between foreend and barrel now as the front action screw is tightened.
What is the best torque on these actions screws from experience?
