[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1615683, member: 307"] I say shoot 'em. What's it gonna hurt? You may find that you can delay the bedding process. I bought a used .300WinMag, Savage 112 BVSS in Aug 2008 and had all intention to bed it, until I shot it. The first day of load development turned out an impressive group of .4's - .5's 3-shot groups at 100yds. When I first shot it at 300dys (all I had at that time) with 180gn NBT's the 3 shot group was around an inch and a half. I was pleased and decided to shoot it for a while before I bedded it. Well that was 11 yrs ago, the first 6" of the barrel past the chamber now feels like an "alligators back" and I just bedded it to that original stock between 12-25-18 and 01-01-19. I have ordered a 28" Pac Nor, .300WinMag, SS, Super-Match, 9t, varmint contour to screw on. Should be here in June [/QUOTE]
