[QUOTE="DryShave, post: 1049764, member: 82136"] Well I made it out to the range finally and the bedding job held together nicely. The problem of shifting point of zero that I was trying to solve with the bedding job turned out to be a case of loose scope mounting rail and not the rifle itself. All four screws had worked their way loose after less than a hundred rounds. I tightened then down snug with a bit of blue locktite on the threads this time. I did a ladder with some 150gr hornady interlocks, primarily to fireform some full length sized brass, and to see how they would shoot though not expecting much from them. The best group was 1.026" at 100yds over 57gr imr4350, so not terrible for a short, bargain bullet. Actually this was really good considering this powder was stored in a basement for the last 20 years! Next up will be development for a new lead free hunting load for 2015 deer/moose season, it will be 175gr barnes lrx over imr 4350. Glad to have the bedding done and some brass ready for new experiments! [/QUOTE]
