[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 843932, member: 10755"] All the advice given is spot on, but may I make a suggestion. To see if there is a difference between groups with the pressure point on the barrel, you must get the barrel hot to see if it makes a difference or not to group size. If it does change POI as the barrel gets hot then free floating will most certainly help. You can do a test before you go the full hog of free floating and bedding the rifle for good, take the rifle apart and use paper cut to the right size to build up enough space to free float the barrel, then shoot the same loads as before to see if there is an improvement. I know there will be some naysayers for doing this, but I've never had it hurt anything when I've done it. If you're going to bed and free float the barrel, I would also add some aluminium pillars to the stock to really stabilise the bedding job. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
