[QUOTE="EarlYoung, post: 1369188, member: 102663"] I believe the brake issues are now resolved but I'm sure they were a problem earlier. As for the bedding, I realize I didn't mention that my father had cleared out below the lug as well. We've read that model 700s are often best bedded only at the rear of the lug and it has worked well for us in the past. Do you think the last shot of a group fliers might have to do with the current bedding and would you suggest trying to fully bed the lug again without the bottom this time if the fliers don't leave? I've heard of people shooting smaller calibers with heavy contour barrels benefiting occasionally from it but I'm still unsure if it's the right thing to do. I wish he hadn't fire lapped it. Also, I noticed some extreme growth on fired brass compared to other guns, 0.510 new at base to 0.5185 after fired and a shoulder growth length 0.019. Im not sure how concerned I should be about this. [/QUOTE]
