[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 822385, member: 5302"] Such things have happened. I've shot a few 40X .30-.338's, two I bedded receiver only, no pad under chamber and they shot .3092" diameter (7.85mm) Lapua D46 185's well under 1 MOA at 1000 with the factory barrel which was about as good as any belted mag shoots. Neither shot Sierra's worth a darn. The other was a tub gun; wash tub groups with all sorts of bedding attempts. Finally found the Douglas barrel to have a couple of tight spots as well as non linear rifling twist; the button straightened out a couple of times when it was rifled. The factory bedding on one did let the barrel touch the stock fore end tip with down pressure on it. I believe the cause was too soft of wood in the stock in the receiver area. After expoxy bedding the receiver, no more problem as I put an extra thick Devcon pillar around the front screw. I've shot a number of very accurate rifles testing them but they only performed well after hogging out all the bedding under the chamber area in the barrel. They would not hold elevation for 25 to 30 shots in a prone long range match. [/QUOTE]
