i have no experience in this yet but am trying to learn and diving in full bore. I have bought all the reloading equipment and just waiting for my rifle to come in.
Rifle is a rem 700 long range in 7mm rem mag. Scope on order is a Burris xtr ii with moa reticle and adjustments. 5x25x50mm mounted on Burris xtr rings. I still need to find a good steel rail for the top of the gun.
I will start my load building with hornady 168 gr accubond long range and h1000 powder.
Where I'm stuck is bedding the stock. I've been reading and watching and can't seem to find the information I want. I've ordered marine Tex gray. I can't find information on how much of the aluminum bedding block should be removed and if I should have something such as the accurisers supporting the action or just epoxy an pressure down till at least one part sits on a part of the bedding block. I'm not for competition but I want to have an accurate gun and learn from the process.
Also open to load reccomendations. I'll do more reading on that once my press shows up.
