[QUOTE="Boozer, post: 1090963, member: 22146"] I'll try to address everyone's points here... Lots of good info thus far! Fearnowind: recoil lug was bedded with 1layer of painters tape on the front, sides, and bottom, none on the back. Pillar bedding may help, this battle may be won 1/4" at a time... I'll PM you about the barrel. AZShooter: everything was torqued with a wheeler engineering torque wrench, though I forget exactly how much, and I will go through again to make sure everything is still tight. I believe it has 200-300 rounds through it, but only 10 since I've done the tubbs bullets. I do want to put a few more factory match loads through it before I make any rash decisions. It might like a completely different ammo now that I've done the firelapping, hard to tell until I try. Bounty hunter: About 2 weeks ago I shot a 5/8"X1/2" group out of my brothers brand new CZ 527 in .204. I'll never rule myself out, but I'm trying to operate with blinders on for the purposes of our conversation here. Mike 338: I think you are echoing what others are saying as well. Try to see if I can get someone to hand load a few rounds seated to tighter to the rifling and see how she does. Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
