[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 162869, member: 2736"] [b]Tip pressure[/b] All the factory Weatherbys I have had responded well to some tip pressure .but it sounds like you have to much. All your looking for is enough to dampen the barrel. I tune mine by removing the tip pressure pad.Then replace the sling swivel stud with a longer screw ( you may have to drill through the stock into the barrel channel with a small bit and then go inside with a larger drill to clear the threads. Turn the screw in until it touches the barrel and shoot a 3 round group then after cleaning and cooling advance the screw 1/4 turn and repeat the process.the groups should get better as you go but at some point they will fall off.when you reach the sweet spot lock down the screw,take the barrel out of the stock,apply bedding compound in the area of the pressure pad and reinstall the barrel and allow 2 or 3 days to cure .once cured remove the long screw and replace with the sling swivel stud .and go shooting. Bye the way the barrel does need to be floated (Clear every where except bedded pressure pad. Fouling may be part of the problem so clean the barrel well before starting this process and clean every 3 to 5 shots. I hope this works as well for you as it has for me. Good luck J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
