[QUOTE="HoytemanPA, post: 161964, member: 286"] [b]Bed it tight[/b] I had the same dilema with a 30-378. First shot out, then group. A fellow on here about six years ago told me to bed the lug, sides tight. The theory is that torque and or heat from the first round tightens things up. then it shoots. Carrying it around and or cleaning, riding around in the car, this fit relaxes before the next time you shoot, fouled barrel or not. Bed the action, no tape on the sides or back of the lug, just a couple of thicknesses in the front and bottom. High torque rounds don't like slop. Since learning this tidbit of info I have done this on all of my rifles. One shot kills large game 486, 450, 350, 660, 771, 864 half 300 ultra, half 30-378. Shummy [/QUOTE]
