[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 84792, member: 8947"] I would suggest these steps. Bed that action and free float the barrel. That barrel hump is not my idea of accuracy. Get a Lee collet neck die and size your fired brass with that. BR prep brass like trimming to same length, inside outside deburr, remove flash from primer hole. Always use brass from the same lot. I am using Rem brass with great results. Ensure that runout of ammo is as low as possible. Work up loads using MATCH primers (Fed 215M) and extruded powders. Mine just love Re25 and 162gr SST/AMax. I want to try Retumbo next. IMR7828 and H1000 proved too fast in my rifles. I bet that with a little tuning as above, your rifle will shoot as good as you want the way it is. Just open up the foreend so that there is plenty of space around the barrel. Foreend rigidity plays a very small role in LR accuracy because it doesn't touch the barrel (squeeze the barrel into the stock with your hand, it should not touch). Also, rest the rifle in the same place everytime and watch your shooting form. I like to rest the rifle just in front of the action. This is the most rigid spot on any stock and where I would be holding it anyways. If the shooting is consistently first two touching and third flyer, your barrel is warping as it heats up. The bedding and freefloating will help alot. Jerry [/QUOTE]
