Afternoon Gentleman! In full transparency, it should be known that I work for Bergara in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
I'm not here to get into any debates or try to dissuade your opinions on Bergara. I simply wanted to reach out to make sure that 101stCurrahee had our contact information so we can help diagnose his concerns. There are a ton of variables that go into hand loads and that's why we always benchmark with either match or premium factory loads for feed, function and accuracy purposes. If it will perform for factory loads then you can reasonably expect to improve using safe reloading. practices. For the 300 WM specifically, our go to load is the Norma 180 gr Oryx. Another bullet that shoots extremely consistent for us are the 185 Gr Juggernauts.
As for the bedding, the rifle should not need it. It is molded around an aluminum mini-chassis that is very solid. What i have seen sometimes is that a little bit of paint gets built up on the pillars and that can cause the gun to be fussy until removed.
