[QUOTE="Freebore, post: 232624, member: 873"] Gentlemen, I have to disagree with floating the barrel on an Ultra Light Weight. I don't think that Weatherby put all effort into R&D to not have the pressure point. I fully agree on the Accumarks that the barrel be floated as this is the way they come from the factory too. The barrel has to have side good clearance of the stock too. . I have 2 Light Weight both in 257 and they both shot their best with the pressure point. As a matter of fact they didn't shoot worth bucket of mud with out them even after several different load combo's . As for the flutes, just fill with modelers clay and build your dams with the same for installing the pressure point with bedding compound. they trick is getting the right the right height for the right pressure. Just measure the height BEFORE removing factory bumps. What I did was to use cut credit cards (a good thing) to get the the right pressure and height then miked them. . All my 3 Weatherby's have the recoil lugs fully bedded. [/QUOTE]
