[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 165560, member: 2736"] [b]bedding[/b] Winnie If the fibermark stock has the full chassis then you need to shoot it first .torque it to 65 or 75 inch pounds. I'm not sure witch barrel contour you have but if it's a #1 or #2 you will nead some tip pressure. After shooting if not satisfied then look at my post on this issue on thread " Bullets Barrels and Blistics " dated 08/19/07 . it describes a method of adjusting tip pressure for accuracy. As far as bedding I use two long 1/4 28 headless bolts that extend well past the stock ( at least 1/2 " ) ,Cut all but about 1/4" of the threads off so the screw bottoms on the bolt body. Then I use a piece of heat shrink on the screw after using the release agent.( this helps center the action over the pillars ) on both screws. Check the fit before applying the bedding compound. after applying tape to areas to be protected ,spread bedding compound on all surfaces to be bedded.100% as specweldtom said. Next I use spring clamps to hold the action down "Note they look like jumper cable clamps" so as not to flex the stock or the action. Allow enough cure time that the bedding is tough but not hard and then remove the screws from the bottom with out disturbing the action or the clamps. This will help when removing the action after the bedding has cured. Next shoot to see how it does . If not satisfied then float the barrel and use the method described in my earler post. Sounds complicated but it's not Dont give up on the 257 it's a great round and will shoot . Let me know how it does J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
