[QUOTE="jaybic, post: 999136, member: 17055"] It is still wearing the first barrel. I had it scheduled to go back to Hart after I quit coyote hunting for the year(typically about end of Feb but Mr, Hart told me to send it back now and he is gonna give it another whack at figuring it out. It shipped today. The other barrel I purchased is also from Hart(not yet installed) after the original gunsmith agreed to pay for it because he had 2 chances to get it right already and that didn't happen. I ordered it and paid for it and when it arrived I forwarded a copy of the invoice to the original smith and he sent me 240.00 rather that the 440.00 for the new barrel he originally agreed to. Sounds like he will only pay full price if I give him the old tube so he can use it on another rifle for someone else(this is how he explained it in the letter with the check). I am going to call him and ask him if he in any way altered the action and I have the blueprint dimensions that Stiller includes with the action which I will forward to Hart so he will know if the action has been altered. As far as bedding goes, the rifle was bedded and shot and that is when it seemed to be coming around. Then it was sent for painting and had the paint baked on, reassembled and sent to me but was not shot. Is it possible that the process of baking the paint on may have altered the bedding job? The throat on this tube seems short as well. If I seat an 87gr vmax to the Hornandy COAL, it would just be kissing the rifling and that means there is a lot of bullet seated deep in the case. Is it possible that in order to keep the bullet out of the rifling, I have to seat it so deep that it is inside the case so far as to negatively affect accuracy? Just pitching ideas...... anyway, thanks for your time, wisdom and advice. It helps to hear from other voices of experience. have a good one, Jamie [/QUOTE]
