[QUOTE="couesaddict, post: 1308133, member: 77536"] One other thing I don't recall seeing mentioned is action screw torque. I've had the action screws loosen up over time and start giving odd results. I now use red locktite on them and torque to around 50 inch pounds so that I don't have to worry about it happening on a trip. Also, when I first got my 300 rum it seems I shot near half the barrel life out of it looking for that perfect load until I finally concentrated on my form. Consistency in how you hold the rifle shot to shot has almost as much to do with a good group out of a higher recoiling round as powder and seating depth in my personal opinion. My smaller chamberings seem to be much more forgiving in that aspect. Just my $.02 and good luck. [/QUOTE]
