[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1551110, member: 42308"] IDK how quickly you are firing your groups. You may be witnessing an optical illusion from the heat dissipation of the barrel causing a vertical dispersion. Is this a bench rifle or a hunting rifle? If you are seeing consistent 0.5MOA three shot groups why are you firing any more?? Seriously. You’ll waste 90% of your barrel life chasing that last 10% of accuracy to get from 0.5 to 0.3 MOA at 100yards. Why?!? It’s literally 0.2094” or less than 1/4”. Not a critter in the world will know the difference even at 1,000 yards 0.5MOA is less than 5-1/2”. How often in a real hunting situation will you have an opportunity to fire more than one? How about two? I can tell you I’ve only sent a second shot a handful of times in thirty plus years and I’ve never sent a third. Ever. If you don’t like or aren’t satisfied with the bedding certainly change it. There’s a lot of folks whom will read this thread thinking man, I wish I could get my rig to do a consistent 0.5MOA. Have fun with that rig bud! [/QUOTE]
