[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1896394, member: 69192"] Something that I suggest when I read a post like this is to start with the basics with the sighting system, make sure everything is tight, and torqued to factory specs, and the scope is a reliable/proven scope. I know this sounds simple, however sometimes we can be chasing the wrong problem with a situation such as this one. From your OP you have a great platform and you are doing all that can be done with your reloads. I don't have anything fancy when it comes to stocks (factory wood), but....have found bedding does improve accuracy tremendously. What I have experienced is that[I][U] "glass bedding four inches in front of the recoil lug[/U][/I]" gives better performance [I][U]than[/U][/I] floating the barrel up to the recoil lug. I also float the barrel with two layers of .010 thousandths Plumber's Wrap tape from Brownells out to the end of the barrel channel; again starting from four-inches in front of the recoil lug. There are some opinions that bedding the taper from the receiver too far in front of the recoil lug will cause the barrel to rise when it heats up [I]due to expansion [/I]of the barrel's taper, this I have never experienced. Also have found that pillar bedding improves accuracy tremendously [U]with the wood stocks[/U]. Sorry to read that you are having this experience with a new rifle, this really sucks. Also....if you haven't contacted the manufacturer that might give you some answers to your situation. Curious about the twist rate in the barrel for the weight bullets you are shooting? I'd also try the guys from Hammer bullets to get their opinion on bullets, bullet weights and loads. [/QUOTE]
