[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 351841, member: 21068"] I 've also got an old Ruger 77 MkII it is/was a 220 Swift. I worked up some loads and the best I could get was 1" at 100 yds.........not good enough. I then had it Floated, and Glass Bedded the action too. Those two things alone cut group size to 1/3 of what it was!! Suddenly, it was shooting 5 at 100 that were [B]ALWAYS [/B]under 1/2" (some in the 2's and 3's) and 3 shot groups at 300 were often times around 1" center to center..............all because of bedding and floating!! I too was very very happy! That was about 15 years ago, now, approx 5000 rounds later; it's got the barrel shot out of it and I am in the process of having it redone in 6 X 47 Lapua Improved. Hopefully it will show the same or better precision that it had in it's prime. [/QUOTE]
