[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1029171, member: 27307"] RichJD13, I've been busy with other projects due here shortly. Not letting the barrel touch is a good thought. However, this ultralight stock apparently is playing somewhat of the part of the culprit. I suggest again, starting with the bedding to see that it is stress-free and completely correct. Then I would assess the stock itself for rigidity. Twist it in your hands, compress the fore arm against the barrel, etc. If you can move it, it will move under recoil, especially if your rest if a pack. The sling can also provide added stress by pulling down on the stock then moving under recoil. All things to pay attention to. Reloading is one of the most rewarding processes you can be involved with in shooting. Not only is it fun but you have the ability to test many more variables that are not available through commercial loads. I will say that there are some commercial loads which are getting immensely better than before but reloading is still the best avenue for great loads. Go back through the rifle again to assess the bedding, rigidity, trigger and your interaction with the stock when in position to shoot. Watch for all the signs of something moving that shouldn't be moving when testing in the shop. Also remember to check for small chips left in the bedding under the recoil lug. That can make a sane person crazy when looking for problems. Regards. [/QUOTE]
