[QUOTE="lamiglas, post: 549869, member: 11075"] Plus one on what has been said. This was already mentioned but I just want to give an example. if your prior stock had any contact and your new stock is floated it can change your accuracy load. recently I did some load work for am old rem 700 300 win mag. Had the factory wood stock and was not free floated. I found a load that shot well. Well enough we decided to get a brake and trigger job. Before brake or trigger job though we channeled out the stock to free float it. Went to shoot it and it opened up to 1.5 inches. Shot the same string of loads for development and found the sweet spot had changed. The new accuracy load was even better than before but was definitely different. Just got it back with the new brake etc and duracoated it. I will be putting it all back together in a week or two and see if the brake will change the node. Good luck [/QUOTE]
