[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1672514, member: 93138"] I thought the comment about not bedding the tapered portion of a barrel worth noting. When you bed a cylinder and it then changes length dimension when it gets hot it can grow unrestrained. When the tapered portion grows with heat any bedding acts like a V-notch and the barrel is the wedge. That can't be good for consistency. OTOH the comment about BR rifles not being bedded under the chamber has me wondering if that is because their actions are stiff enough to not need it or if the heat induced change in barrel diameter is enough to alter the rifle's consistency?
