[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1062112, member: 63138"] I recently stuck a Shilen 270 WSM barrel on what was a new 300 WSM Savage 12 LPV. Normally I bed the recoil lug on these rifles and then head to the range. This time I thought to do it in reverse to see if I could tell any difference before and after bedding. So I picked a couple of bullets (127 gr LRX and 140 gr Accubond), made up some middle of the road loads and went to the range. With 3 shot groups at 200 yards 3 different loads/bullets all shot MOA or a bit better. All the groups have 2 close together and then a flyer to open it up to around 1.8". It looks to me like none of these loads are on a node so they are "bad" loads. I've got the rifle sitting here with the lug now epoxy bedded. I'll let it cure a couple of days and head back to the range to see if it made a difference with these same "bad" loads. My guess is the loads will tighten up a couple of tenths. [/QUOTE]
