[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1945529, member: 26077"] I read the article, I do not buy that they got 3 to 6% shrinkage on Devcon Steel. I have rifles that have been bedded for 20 years in Devcon and the recoil lug and action are still completely tight, no gap or play at all. Devcon publishes their shrinkage factor at .0006CM/CM.. There are 2,54 CM in an inch so 15 ten thousandth, .001524 of an inch per inch or .15%. I have never done a shrink test myself but all the other ones I have read have shown virtually zero shrinkage on Devcon, some shrinkage in Marine Tex and a lot of shrink on JB and Accraglas.
